Farmers protesting against the new agriculture laws on Tuesday said they will not appear before the Supreme Court-appointed committee to resolve the matter, as its members supported the legislations and were “pro-government”, PTI reported.
“The members of the committee are not dependable as they have been writing on how agriculture laws are pro-farmer,” Balbeer Singh Rajewal of Bharatiya Kisan Union said, at a press conference held by the protestors on Tuesday evening. He said the farmers were against the committee on principle and it was the government’s way to divert attention from the protests, adding that the agitation will continue, PTI reported.
