Farmer protest: Parliament gherao threat amid talks; PM Modi meets ministers

On the day that the Union government held the fifth round of talks with farmer leaders, the protestors threatened to intensify the stir, including a gherao of the Parliament, if the outcome wasn't 'positive'.

Like the earlier rounds, farmer representatives and the Union agriculture and commerce ministers met at Delhi's Vigyan Bhawan.

Further discussions will be held on December 9.

The farmers want 3 recent agri-reform laws revoked, and a new law guaranteeing minimum support price formulated.

The government has claimed that the laws are in farmers' favour and they are being misled by the Opposition.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi held a meeting with the agriculture minister Narendra Tomar, Home minister Amit Shah, and Defence minister Rajnath Singh, ahead of the farmer discussions.
