Charade of talks with farmers draws to end

The farmers, however, are adamant that all the three laws need to be scrapped and the Centre needs to provide legal guarantees for MSP (minimum support price). "We told the government we will not agree to anything other than repeal of the laws," Darshan Pal, a farmer leader with the Samyukt Kisan Morcha, told news agency PTI after the meeting. Meanwhile, the Kisan Ekta Morcha, which comes out with a new hashtag daily for its Twitter messages, proclaimed that #StopChinaNotFarmers" is Friday’s hashtag. ‘‘Let us use it, share it & viral it, so that farmers' voices reach the government and actions are taken.’’ In one of the tweets, it said: "Government should focus on real enemies & stop tainting our nationalist farmers."
