Driving Naari Programme launched in Chandigarh
New Delhi: Former Punjab chief minister Captain Amarinder Singh, who recently announced that he is quitting the Congress and will form his own party soon, Monday made a big statement when he said that the Central government and the farmers have reached some sort of understanding over the issue of the three contentious agri laws.
Speaking exclusively to Times Now Editor-in-Chief Rahul Shivshankar, Singh said that the rigidity that was there between the two sides, namely the Union government and the farmers’ unions, is not there anymore and a solution to the farmers’ nearly year-long protest could be reached soon.
Here’s what Singh told Times Now during an exclusive conversation:
“As far as I know, discussions have taken place between the Centre and farmers’ unions. We have tried to assist the Government of India (in the past) so as to reach a solution. There has been a constructive approach from both sides. They have reached some sort of solution.
“The question is, if it is stuck on some minor point, then it should be resolved also. I think everyone wants it to be over; the farmers also want to get back to their land. I (also) know the rigidity that was there earlier, that’s not there now and they have reached some sort of a position, not compromise totally, but some sort of a position.”
