Farmer leaders communicated that they will hold 'Bharat Bandh' on December 8 as their demands haven't been met. The Agriculture Minister said Modi Government is committed to the welfare of farmers and has taken a number of steps and pro farmers reforms. The minister appealed to the farmers' unions that they should give up their agitation and solve their grievances through talks and dialogue. "We request Kisan unions to send elderly and children back home in wake of COVID and cold weather. I want to request protesting farmers to give up their movement so that they don't face inconvenience in this cold weather and citizens of Delhi can also live a life of convenience," he said.
