The doors for talks are open from the farmers' side. We have been saying that if the government wants to talk, then show us the letter of the central government or the CM office of Haryana or Punjab. We want the central government to accept our demands. They should give us a place to protest in Delhi. Internet services should be restored in Ambala.

• At 6 pm, Pandher gave a 1-day ultimatum to the Modi Government. He said, "We will wait till tomorrow for talks with the government, otherwise, a 'Jattha' of 101 farmers will march towards Delhi on 8 December at 12 noon... I think the Prime Minister is not even listening to the Vice President. If the round of talks had started, a happy solution to this movement could have been found... The government is not ready for talks... For us the ruling party and the opposition are the same, they all do politics..."
• Congress MP Randeep Singh Surjewala came in support of the farmers. At 6: 20 pm, Surjewala said, "The 3 farm laws were withdrawn with the promise that a law guaranteeing MSP will be brought. Now 2 years have passed. Once again the farmers of the country are sitting on the border...The farmer, who is called the God of the Earth, is now being stopped by using sticks, tear gas, concrete walls... When the country's Agriculture Minister was asked whether he would make a law to guarantee MSP, he openly evaded the question. This somehow reflects the intention of the Modi government. The Prime Minister of the country should call the farmers for talks without any delay. A law should be passed to guarantee MSP in this session of Parliament. This is the demand of the Indian National Congress."
