Shah to meet farmers today?

New Delhi: Union Home Minister Amit Shah is expected to meet the protesting farmers in Delhi on Tuesday, after their repeated request for an unconditional meeting with the government in connection with the three agri laws passed by the Centre earlier this year.
Sources said the government could sent out an invite to farmers for talks any time. According to a report, the Union Home Minister, who had previously demanded that the protestors move to a 'structured' place to schedule discussions with the Centre, has finally agreed to meet the agitated farmers to hear out their demands.
The expected meeting comes a day after the farmers refused the Centre's offer to hold their protest at Delhi's Burari ground, terming it an "open jail".
The farmers rejected the Centre's 'conditional' offer to hold talks, saying that they will not accept any conditional dialogue and threatened to block all five entry points to the national capital. Earlier on Sunday, Amit Shah held deliberations with Defence Minister Rajnath Singh, Union Agriculture Minister Narendra Singh Tomar and BJP president J P Nadda over the farmers' protest. In fact, a meeting of the protesting farmers' unions with the Centre has already been scheduled on December 3.
