Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday told leaders of various political parties that his government has been continuously trying to resolve the issues raised by protesting farmers through talks, sources said. Addressing floor leaders of various political parties at the customary all-party meeting convened by the government for the smooth conduct of the Budget Session, Modi said the Centre's proposal on the three new agriculture laws still stands, the sources added.
Modi said the government still stands by the proposal given to the protesting farmers of suspending the three contentious farm laws for 18 months.
The Prime Minister assured that the government is approaching the farmers' issue with an open mind.
Citing Modi's address at the virtual meeting, the sources said he told the leaders that Agriculture Minister Narendra Singh Tomar was just a phone call away for protesting farmers and the latter had conveyed the same to farmer leaders earlier this month.
