Centre must resume talks with agitating farmers: Bhupinder Singh Hooda

Find an honourable solution, say leaders from Punjab, Haryana
Leader of the Opposition in the Haryana Assembly Bhupinder Singh Hooda (Congress) on Tuesday urged the BJP-led governments at the Centre and the State to resume the process of dialogue with farmers, who were agitating against the Centre’s farm laws. Mr. Hooda said the responsibility of convincing the Union government rests with the BJP-JJP government. “Haryana’s borders with Delhi have been the epicentre of the movement since the day it began and the State government should have convinced the Centre to find an honourable solution. The protests are happening on our land and hence it is the responsibility of the BJP-JJP government to convince the Central government to accept the demands of the farmers and find a respectful solution,” he said.
