Firm on demand of repealing farm laws; decision on future action after tractor parade, say farmers

Protesting farmer leaders on Saturday remained firm on their demand of a complete repeal of the three contentious farm laws and said their immediate focus is on the January 26 tractor parade. The union leaders said the next course of action will be decided only after the tractor parade. Farmer leaders held a marathon meeting on Saturday to reconsider the government's proposal to put the legislations on hold for 18 months, but no consensus could be reached.
