Replying to a question, Dallewal said that till now, no invitation has been received for holding a dialogue.He also criticised the Centre for police action against the protesting farmers at the two borders of Punjab and Haryana.Dallewal, however, refuted the claims of the Haryana Police that the protesting farmers had pelted stones at the security personnel.The farmer leaders have so far held talks twice with the government. The first talk was with Union Ministers Piyush Goyal, Arjun Munda, and Nityanand Rai, while the second was with Goyal and Munda in Chandigarh.Both of these meetings remained inconclusive.The Samyukta Kisan Morcha (non-political) and the Kisan Mazdoor Morcha are spearheading the ‘Delhi Chalo’ agitation to put pressure on the Centre for their demands, including a law on the minimum support price for crops and loan waivers.Besides a legal guarantee for minimum support price (MSP), the farmers are also demanding the implementation of the Swaminathan Commission’s recommendations, pensions for farmers and farm labourers, farm debt waiver, withdrawal of police cases and “justice” for victims of the Lakhimpur Kheri violence, reinstatement of the Land Acquisition Act 2013, withdrawal from the World Trade Organisation, and compensation for the families of the farmers who died during the previous agitation, among others.
