For close to two months, thousands of farmers have been camping at various Delhi borders, demanding a complete repeal of the farm laws and a legal guarantee for a minimum support price (MSP) crop procurement system. While the farmers have remained adamant on their demands, the government has held its ground, leading to nine rounds of talks without a conclusion.

The latest, ninth, round of talks between the government officials and the farmers was held on Friday at Vigyan Bhavan in Delhi.

During the meeting, the farmer unions continued to press for the repeal of the farm laws, sources told India Today TV. They also registered their protest against the police crackdown and cases against farmers in Karnal following the incident before Haryana CM Manohar Lal Khattars rally, they said.
