The seventh round of talks between protesting unions and government ended inconclusively on Monday as the farmers remained adamant on the repeal of the three contentious farm laws. The next meeting has been scheduled for January 8. After about one hour of discussions, the two sides took a long break, during which representatives of protesting farmers had their own food, arranged from langar. Unlike the last round of talks on December 30, the ministers did not join the union leaders for the langar food and were seen having their own discussion separately during the break, which went on for almost two hours. At 5.15 pm, the two sides resumed their discussions, but no breakthrough could be achieved as the talks remained focussed on the farmers’ demand for the repeal of the acts.
