The protesting farmers' unions have proposed to hold another round of talks with the Centre at 11 am on December 29, said farmer leader Rakesh Tikait on Saturday. The decision was taken at a meeting of Sanyukt Kisan Morcha, an umbrella body of 40 farmer unions protesting at Delhi borders against the three contentious farm laws. The development comes after the unions held a meeting on Friday evening to discuss the government's latest letter inviting them for talks. The ministry also reiterated it is ready to find a "logical solution" to the issues raised by protesting farmer unions. The farmers reacted to it and said that their demand for a legal guarantee on minimum support price will remain the same.
