Farmers’ Protest LIVE Updates: Union Minister Nitin Gadkari today said dialogue was the only way forward to end the stalemate with protesting farmers as he urged them to understand the laws and not be misguided. “Our government is dedicated to farmers and is ready to accept the suggestions given by them. There will not be any injustice with farmers in our government. There are some elements who are trying to misguide farmers by misusing this protest. This is wrong. Farmers should try to understand the three laws,” Gadkari said. He added, “If there is no dialogue, it can lead to miscommunication, to controversy and sparring. If there is a dialogue, then issues will be resolved, the whole thing will end, farmers will get justice, they’ll get relief. We’re working in the interest of farmers. Our government will convince the farmers, explain and find a way through dialogue.”
