Farmers' protest: With Parliament all set to take up a Bill to repeal farm laws on the first day of the Winter Session beginning on Monday, speculations are rife that protesting farmers can announce a return to their homes anytime soon. As many as 32 farmer organisations from Punjab have called a crucial meeting at 11 am on Monday. A decision on ending farmers' protest could be taken at the meeting. If the government tables the Farm Laws Repeal Bill 2021 in Parliament on Monday, then farmers may also announce to end their agitation and return homes, a source said.
