As the ongoing farmers' protest at Delhi borders entered Day 19, the farmers union has intensified the agitation with a one-day hunger strike at all protest sites on Monday.
Meanwhile, Union Agriculture Minister Narendra Singh Tomar said that the central government was ready to discuss the three contentious farm laws clause by clause with the protesting farmers. "We (central government) are ready to discuss clause by clause with farmers. We have sent our written proposal to farmers and we are waiting for their response for the next round of talks. These three bills are for the welfare of the farmers," India Today quoted Tomar as saying.
