The Agriculture Secretary, who invited us for talks, is not empowered to revoke the agriculture legislations. Prime Minister Narendra Modi should himself chair the meet.

The Kisan Mazdoor Sangarsh Committee (KMSC), which blocked the Amritsar-New Delhi railway track for the 14th consecutive day, has turned down the Centre’s offer of talks regarding the farm laws.

Sarwan Singh Pandher, general secretary, KMSC, stated that there were numerous reasons for turning down the invitation for the meet, which was scheduled to take place in New Delhi on October 8.

He stated, “The Agriculture Secretary, who invited us for talks, is not empowered to revoke the agriculture legislations. Prime Minister Narendra Modi should himself chair the meet.”

He also further added that the Union ministers during their visits to Punjab, Chandigarh and Himachal Pradesh, had been issuing statements that farmers were being misguided on the new legislations and there was inconsistency in their remarks.

Protesters also burnt an effigy of Haryana Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar for using teargas and water cannons to disperse farmers on Wednesday.
