The government is holding the third round of talks with with 35 representatives of the protesting farmers who've agreed to hold discussions "without preconditions". This morning, Home Minister Amit Shah met Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, Agriculture Minister Narendra Singh Tomar, BJP chief JP Nadda, sources say, for the second time in 48 hours amid massive protests against contentious farm laws around Delhi. Mr Tomar, along with Railway Minister Piyush Goyal, are leading the discussions this afternoon; they're likely to assure the farmers about the new agricultural laws, and dispel rumours over the minimum support price. The laws will not be repealed, the protesters are likely to be told.
