The Supreme Court today suggested a panel be formed with representatives from all stakeholders -- the farmers' associations as well as government nominees to find a solution to the deadlock in talks over the new farm laws. The farmers' protest will soon become a "national issue", the Supreme Court said today, suggesting that a solution be found urgently through negotiations. The court has issued notice to the Centre as well as the Delhi, Punjab and Haryana governments and said they will have to respond by tomorrow before winter vacation begins.
Meanwhile, the farm leaders dismissed the move as no solution as they want a complete withdrawal of the legislations. They also said the government should have formed a committee of farmers and others before the laws were enacted by Parliament.
Five rounds of meetings have taken place between the government and the representatives of thousands of farmers who have been protesting at the borders of the national capital.
Earlier on Tuesday, the leaders of protesting farmers asserted they will "make" the Centre repeal the three new farm laws, and asserted that their fight has reached a stage where they are "determined" to win it no matter what.
