New Delhi: Farmer unions and the Central government on Wednesday held the tenth round of talks over the three farm laws during which Union Agriculture Minister Narendra Singh Tomar proposed to hold the implementation of the legislations for a year and a half.
The Centre also proposed to submit an affidavit in Supreme Court for suspending the three laws for a mutually-agreed period and set up a committee.
Following the stepping down of Bhupinder Singh Mann from the Supreme Court-appointed committee - set up to study the Centre s contentious Farm Bills - the Court has acknowledged the vacancy, while the Chief Justice of India, S A Bobde, has retorted to aspersions cast on the committee.

Nawanshahr:
Shiromani Akali Dal chief Sukhbir Singh Badal on Tuesday claimed the Supreme Court-appointed committee could not play any constructive role in resolving the deadlock between the farmers and the Centre following the latter s refusal to accept peasants demand of repealing the farm laws.
He also said that kisan shakti had the power to wipe out the BJP.
Mr Badal was speaking to the media after holding ward-level meetings in Nawanshahr, Banga and Phagwara.
The committee formed by the top court could not play any constructive role in resolving the crisis following the central government s refusal to repeal the three agricultural laws, he said.
