Send netas like Advani, Rajnath for talks: Tikait
Description
MUZAFFARNAGAR: Bharatiya Kisan Union (BKU) chief Naresh Tikait said ministers sent by the Centre for talks to end the deadlock over farm laws “did not talk much as they were under pressure”. He suggested that leaders like L K Advani, Rajnath Singh, Yogi Adityanath or former PM Manmohan Singh should come to the table for talks on the issue. The farmers’ union and the government, mostly represented by agriculture minister Narendra Singh Tomar, have so far held 11 rounds of talks to end the impasse over the three laws. All the meetings have remained inconclusive. “Bring Advani, Yogi (Adityanath) or Rajnath Singh to resolve the issue. Bring former PM Manmohan Singh to resolve the matter,” Tikait said in Muzaffarnagar’s Sisauli, his hometown, on Monday night. He also reiterated his stand that if the government doesn’t want to repeal the laws, it should put them on hold till 2024. “We are ready for a compromise. They should also take back the FIRs registered against the protesters,” Tikait added.
