A meeting of Bharatiya Kisan Union leaders and Union Agriculture Minister Narendra Singh Tomar is underway at Krishi Bhawan. Members of Kisan Sangharsh Samiti are also present in the meeting.

On December 20, the Central government invited farmer leaders for a fresh round of talks amid attempts to end the agitation.

Vivek Aggarwal, joint secretary, the Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers' Welfare wrote a letter to Krantikari Kisan Union Punjab state president Dr Darshan Pal asking him to share his doubts over the new laws after having a discussion with farm union leaders invited earlier and requested him to choose a date according to their convenience.

Earlier in the day Bhartiya Kisan Union (BKU) said that their organization has not received any meeting invitation from Union Agriculture Minister Narendra Singh Tomar yet.

Farmers have been agitating on different borders since November 26 and have decided they won't go back till the government repeals all 3 farm laws.
