Won't accept any committee, says farmers

Protesting farmers welcomed one half of the Supreme Court's order and rejected the other part.  Farmers' groups  on Tuesday evening said they would not hold discussions with or even accept the committee, which they said included members in favour of the farm laws. "We think the government is bringing this committee through the Supreme Court. The committee is just a way of divert attention.",they said.

The groups said even if the members of committee were replaced, they would not take part in discussions with committee. "It's a good thing that the implementation of laws has been put on hold. It is a welcome decision but this was our right and we will accept nothing less than the repeal of farm laws," they said. All the members of this Committee are pro-government and had been justifying the laws of the government," said Balbir Singh Rajewal, a member of the Bhartiya Kisan Union.
