Haryana Deputy Chief Minister Dushyant Chautala today wrote a letter to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, expressing concern over the ongoing farmers’ agitation over three agricultural laws and urged him to resume talks with farm’ organisations.
Discussion must to end deadlock
It is a matter of concern as ‘annadata’ has been sitting on the streets on the Delhi borders for more than 100 days over the agricultural laws. Every problem can be solved through mutual discussion. — Dushyant Chautala, Deputy Chief Minister
He said the government should set up a committee of three to four senior Cabinet ministers for discussions with these organisations so that the demands of farmers could be amicably resolved at the earliest.

Chautala also briefed Modi about the procurement of rabi season crops in the state. He said Haryana was the only state in the country which was procuring six rabi season crops at the Minimum Support Price (MSP), including wheat, mustard, pulses, sunflower, gram and barley. He said in future also, the state government would continue to ensure Minimum Support Price (MSP) to farmers on their crops.
