Protesting farmer unions on Wednesday held a press conference at the Delhi-Singhu border asking the government not to repeat the promise of amendments to the new farm laws that have been already rejected but to come up with a concrete proposal in writing so further rounds of talks can be scheduled. “We have already told home minister Amit Shah that protesting farmers will not accept amendments,” national president of Rashtriya Kisan Mazdoor Mahasangh, Shiv Kumar Kakka said. All India Kisan Sabha leader Hannan Molla claimed the government wanted to tire the farmers out so that the protest would end.
"The way Centre is carrying this process of talks, it's clear that the government wants to delay this issue and break the morale of protesting farmers. The government is taking our issues lightly, I'm warning them to take cognizance of this matter and find a solution soon," said Yudhvir Singh of the Bhartiya Kisan Union. "Farmer unions are ready to talk to the government and are waiting for the government to come to the table with an open mind," said Swaraj Abhiyan leader Yogendra Yadav.
"The government is constantly holding talks with so-called farmers' leaders and organisations. They are not associated with our movement at all. This is an attempt to break our movement. The government is dealing with protesting farmers, the way it deals with its opposition," Yogendra Yadav said.
