New Delhi:
The farmers’ protest must continue and Delhi cannot be blocked, the Supreme Court said today while hearing a series of petitions on the issue. Chief Justice of India SA Bobde, who said yesterday that the matter must be handed over to a committee, said the panel must have “independent members with knowledge of agriculture and hear both sides and give report on what is to be done”.
When the Centre insisted on a meeting where discussions can held on each clause, the court said, “We observed yesterday that the Centre is not successful in negotiations. We do not think that the farmers will accept your conclusions. Let the committee decide”.
