In the all-party meeting, the Prime Minister said, ‘We want to repeat what Narendra Singh Tomar said to the farmers. We said that we are not reaching a consensus, but we are proposing you and you (the farmer) can discuss. I’m just a phone call away. The government’s proposal is still the same. Please reach out to your followers. The solution will be found through negotiation. We all have to think about the nation.
