Protesting Farmers Leave Meeting Over Minister's Absence
A meeting of 30 protesting farmers' groups from Punjab with the government regarding the contentious farm bills ended abruptly today over the absence of the Union minister for agriculture Narendra Singh Tomar. The Centre had called the meeting and the farmers' groups had finally decided yesterday that they would attend. Upset over his absence, the farmers started raising slogans inside the ministry and tore up copies of the contentious farm laws.
