Govt Awaits Supreme Court Verdict on Farmer Protests

Agriculture Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan stated that the government will comply with the Supreme Court's decision on the farmers' protests. As farmer leader Jagjit Singh Dallewal continues his fast, the Supreme Court is set to hear a plea concerning actions by the Punjab government.

Agriculture Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan announced on Wednesday that the government will adhere to the Supreme Court's verdict regarding the ongoing farmers' protests at the Punjab-Haryana border.

Addressing concerns about holding talks with protestors, Minister Chouhan emphasized that actions would align with the Supreme Court's directions. The court is examining demands from protesting farmers, who request dialogue with the Centre.

The minister's statements came as the Supreme Court prepared to review a plea against the Punjab government regarding farmer leader Jagjit Singh Dallewal's health, who is on an indefinite fast demanding a legal guarantee for minimum support price on crops.
