Representatives of 29 farm unions from Punjab walked out of the meeting called by the Centre to resolve their concerns over the new farm laws. They accused the government of adopting double standards with no minister present to hear them out.
At least Agriculture Minister Narendra Singh Tomar should have been present, said Joginder Singh Ugrahan of the BKU (Ekta Ugrahan) after over an hour-long meeting with the Secretary, Agriculture, Sanjay Agarwal.
Later at the Krishi Bhavan here, agitated union leaders raised slogans and tore copies of the farm laws.
