PATIALA: The protesting farm unions, Samyukta Kisan Morcha (Non-Political) and Kisan Mazdoor Morcha, on Tuesday urged the Centre to initiate talks to end the stalemate.
Their reaction came on a day when the Supreme Court extended time till January 2 for the Punjab government to comply with its order to hospitalise Jagjit Singh Dallewal, who has been sitting on fast since November 26.
Farmer leaders said they had always been ready for a dialogue and have never refused to talk with the Union government.
Senior farmer leader Kaka Singh Kotra said that it was high time that the Union government broke its silence on the stir and started a dialogue.
"If the Union government doesn't want to break the stalemate over the ongoing protest, how can Dallewal think of receiving medical aid? We are ready for talks but the (Union) government isn't. They don't seem to be interested," Kotra said.
He claimed that neither protesting farmer unions nor the Punjab government are a party in the ongoing case.
