The meeting between the farmer leaders of 35 organisationswith several central Ministers is slated to begin at 2 pm.
Ahead of the meeting, the farmer leaders clearly said thatno further negotiations or "amendments" to the farm laws would beacceptable and if the final round of dialogue remained inconclusive, theiragitation would gain pace and grow even bigger.

"We won't be happy with any amendments and are veryclear on our stand that the laws should be taken back," he added.
Another delegation member Daljeet Singh said that wheneverthey go for the meetings with the Centre, they are hopeful that their demandsare met.
"However, the government is not ready for it. So, iftoday's meeting remains inconclusive, the agitation will be intensified moreand more and we will call for a 'Bharat Bandh' too," he warned.
