Farm Leaders Demand Ordinance to Give Legal Guarantee for MSP Ahead of Meeting with Centre

New Delhi: A day before the crucial meeting with Union ministers, farm leaders on Saturday asked the Centre to bring an ordinance on giving a legal guarantee to MSP, while a tractor march and dharnas were held in support of farmers protesting at the borders of Punjab.

Farm leader Sarwan Singh Pandher also said the entire country is looking to Prime Minister Narendra Modi for addressing the farmers’ demands and expressed hope that the farmers will get “good news” after the Sunday’s meeting with the Centre.

“Now the ball is in the government’s court,” he said.

Union ministers Arjun Munda, Piyush Goyal and Nityanand Rai and farmer leaders from Punjab will meet on Sunday for the fourth round of talks.
