Ready to resume talks with farmers, repealing laws not an option: Tomar

The umbrella body for the 40 farmers' unions Samyukta Kisan Morcha (SKM) wrote a letter to the Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi urging to resume talking about the three farm laws. 

So far, 11 rounds of talks between 40 farm leaders and the government have failed to break the deadlock over the three laws. The last round was on January 22nd. There has been no talks between the two sides since January 26th when the farmers' tractor rally in the national capital turned violent.

In a statement issued by the Samyukta Kisan Morcha, said, "Today, the Samyukta Kisan Morcha has written a letter to the Prime Minister, asking for the resumption of talks with farmers. This letter touches upon several aspects of the farmers' movement, and the ignorant attitude of the government".
