Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has reiterated his stand on the three controversial farm laws and said they were "not to help farmers, but to finish them".Leading a protest outside Delhi's Raj Niwas on Friday, Gandhi said the Congress will fight for the rights of farmers and will not give up till the farm laws are scrapped.
Farmers from Punjab, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, and Rajasthan have been camped in and around Delhi in decrepit conditions for the past many weeks. They have been protesting against three recently-passed farm laws perceived to be harmful to them. Farmer representatives are today meeting government officials to discuss ways to break the deadlock.
In an attempt to resolve the standoff between the Centre and farmers, Supreme Court on January 12 stayed the implementation of laws until further notice and appointed a four-member committee to examine them. However, farmers' unions said they would not accept the committee's report as its members were "pro-government".
