Farmers refused to accept meals provided by govt during meeting break in Delhi

Union Agriculture Minister Narendra Singh Tomar along with Union Railways Minister Piyush Goyal on December 03 held talks with farmers' leaders at Vigyan Bhawan in the national capital.

Farmers took their own food instead of the food provided by government to them during meal break.

A farmer leader said, "We are not accepting food or tea offered by the government.

We have brought our own food." Thousands of farmers from neighbouring states, mainly Punjab, have settled in and around the national capital as part of their 'Delhi Chalo' protest against the three new agricultural reforms, which have been dubbed as "black laws" by the protesting farmers.

The government has repeatedly conveyed that the three farm laws will help farmers in getting better price for their produce and usher economic growth in the agriculture sector.
