Earlier, Agriculture Minister Narendra Singh Tomar requested the farmer leaders present in the meeting over farmers' protest against the farm laws 2020. He said, "I appeal to all of you to kindly ask senior citizens and children, at the protest site, to go home."

To this, farmer leaders at the meeting said that "We have material with us to last a year. We've been on road for the past several days. If the government wants us to stay on road, we've no problem. We won't take the path of non-violence. Intelligence Bureau will inform you what we're doing at the protest site."

"We do not want corporate farming. The government will benefit from this law, not the farmer," farmers said during the fifth round meeting between farmers and Centre.
