Farmers' Protest Live Updates: Farmers protesting against the Centre's new farm sector laws clanged thalis and raised slogans as Prime Minister Narendra Modi's monthly radio address Mann ki Baat was broadcast this morning. The protest took place at Singhu border, Faridkot in Punjab and Rohtak in BJP-ruled Haryana.
The "Delhi-Chalo" protest by farmers, mostly from Punjab and Haryana, has been continuing for more than a month. Thousands of farmers have been camping at the borders of Delhi, demanding that the farm laws, passed in September, be scrapped.
After five rounds of talks between the farmers and the centre failed, the Supreme Court ordered that a committee be formed to address the issue. The protesting farmer unions on Saturday asked the government to meet and hold discussions on the new farm laws on December 29 (Tuesday).
