The decision comes after farmer leader Jagjit Singh Dallewal\u2019s 54-day hunger strike, which intensified public pressure on the government.<\/p>\n<p>Farmers have been protesting for 340 days at the Shambhu and Khanauri borders, demanding a legal guarantee for Minimum Support Price (MSP) and addressing 12 other key issues. While Dallewal has agreed to medical treatment, he has not yet ended his hunger strike. Doctors have expressed concerns about his ability to survive until the scheduled meeting.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-35928 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/ferozepuronline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/ministry_of_agriculture_1-211x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"211\" height=\"300\" title=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ferozepuronline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/ministry_of_agriculture_1-211x300.jpg 211w, https:\/\/ferozepuronline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/ministry_of_agriculture_1-719x1024.jpg 719w, https:\/\/ferozepuronline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/ministry_of_agriculture_1-768x1094.jpg 768w, https:\/\/ferozepuronline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/ministry_of_agriculture_1-1078x1536.jpg 1078w, https:\/\/ferozepuronline.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/01\/ministry_of_agriculture_1.jpg 1123w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 211px) 100vw, 211px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The government had previously held four inconclusive discussions with farmers but resumed dialogue amid fears of unrest in Punjab and Haryana. Dallewal\u2019s hunger strike has also inspired 121 other farmers, including 111 from Punjab and 10 from Haryana, to join in solidarity. These farmers have vowed to continue their fast until Dallewal ends his.<\/p>\n<p>The Ministry of Agriculture attributed the meeting\u2019s delay to the Delhi election code of conduct and upcoming Union Budget announcements. However, the move has drawn criticism for reflecting a lack of urgency in addressing the farmers\u2019 concerns.<\/p>\n<p>This protest, focused on Punjab and Haryana, has brought leaders like Dallewal, Sarwan Singh Pandher, and Abhimanyu Kohar to prominence. The February 14 meeting is expected to play a pivotal role in resolving the farmers\u2019 demands and the ongoing agitation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Breaking the Stalemate: Farmers\u2019 Hunger Strike Forces Government to the Negotiating Table on Feb 14 Ferozepur (Khanauri), January 19, 2025: \u00a0The central government has scheduled a meeting with protesting farmers on February 14, 2025, at the Mahatma Gandhi State Institute of Public Administration in Chandigarh.
