“Two rounds of talks with farmers were inconclusive. Further discussion is necessary to reach a solution and we ready to find a way out,” said Arjun Munda, Union Minister of State for Agriculture and Farmers’ Welfare.

The farmers must keep in mind that others don’t try to take advantage of their protest, he said, urging them to have faith in the government.

“There are many forces among them who are trying to defame the farmers. Avoid such people. The government is committed to the interests of the farmers,” he said.

Mr Munda was in the government delegation that met the farmer leaders yesterday in Chandigarh to convince them to call off their march to Delhi.

While the meeting led to an agreement over a few demands, no consensus could be reached on three key ones, including the enactment of a law guaranteeing a minimum support price (MSP). “On some issues, we will need to consult the states. We will find a way out. We are always ready to talk and find a solution,” he had said following the talks late last night.
