The next round of talks between the government and protesting farmer unions is scheduled to be held on January 4.
Protesting farmer unions on Saturday said they will take out a tractor parade towards Delhi on January 26 if their demands are not met. British Prime Minister Boris Johnson will be in the national capital on January 26 for the Republic Day celebrations. He will be the chief guest at the Republic Day parade which will be held at Rajpath.
Addressing a press conference, farmer leader Darshan Pal Singh said their proposed parade will be called "Kisan Parade" and it will be held after the Republic Day parade.
Farmer unions on Friday had warned that they will start shutting all malls and petrol pumps in Haryana if the government fails to resolve their main demands for the repeal of three new farm laws and a legal guarantee for MSP in the January 4 meeting.
They had outlined multiple protest actions over a month if their main demands are not met, in an announcement a few days before Republic Day celebrations.
The next round of talks between the government and protesting farmer unions is scheduled to be held on January 4.
Farmers' organisations under the Samyukta Kisan Morcha (SKM), after a meeting at Singhu border, on Friday said that if the talks with the government on January 4 fail then they will intensify the protest and hold a tractor rally on January 6 on Kundli-Manesar-Palwal (KMP) expressway.
After the sixth round of formal negotiations on Wednesday, the government and farm unions reached some common ground to resolve protesting farmers' concerns over rise in power tariff and penalties for stubble burning, but the two sides remained deadlocked over the repeal of three farm laws and a legal guarantee for MSP.
Saturday marked the 38th day of the farmers' protest against the Farmers Produce Trade and Commerce (Production and Facilitation) Act, 2020; Farmers (Empowerment and Protection) Agreement on Price Assurance and Farm Services Act, 2020; and The Essential Commodities (Amendment) Act 2020.
The farmers are demanding the withdrawal of all three laws, while the government has agreed to amend the laws as per the suggestions of the farmers.
