Supreme Court says protest can go on while panel can resolve deadlock with Govt
New Delhi,UPDATED: Dec 17, 2020 13:34 IST
Supreme Court has resumed hearing a batch of pleas that seek direction to the authorities to immediately remove the farmers who are protesting at the border points of Delhi against the three farm reform laws. On Wednesday, Supreme Court had said the Centre’s negotiations with the farmers “have not worked” and also talked about forming a panel with the farmer groups, government officials and other stakeholders to resolve the deadlock.
However, farmer groups were not happy with the suggestion. A final verdict on the pleas against the farmer protest is expected today. Supreme Court also said the farmers’ agitation may soon become a national issue unless resolved now. Meanwhile, a Sikh preacher shot himself at the Singhu border protest, leaving behind a suicide note in which he said he has killed himself in solidarity with the ongoing farmers’ protest.
