Further talks only after release of farmers who are in police custody: Samyukta Kisan Morcha
Heavy security at Delhi Borders: Amid tension at Delhi borders, the Samyukta Kisan Morcha has decided that there would be no formal talks with the government until harassment by police and administration against the farmers' protest was immediately stopped.
It has been noted that increased barricading including trench-digging, fixing nails on the roads, barbed wire fencing, closing off of even internal roads, stopping of internet services, orchestrating protests and facilitating the same through BJP-RSS workers, diversion of trains and stopping them before destination stations, etc., are all part of multiple attacks being organised by the government, the Samyukta Kisan Morcha stated on heavy security at Delhi borders.

It appears that the government was extremely fearful of the rising tide of support for the ongoing protest from different states of India, the Kisan Morcha stated.
It also condemned strongly the arrests and detention of many protestors in different police stations and the seizure of vehicles of farmers. Scores of people are reported to be missing and this is a matter of great concern to us, it stated.

Though no formal proposal for talks came from the government, the Kisan Morcha has clearly stated that the talks will be held only after the unconditional release of farmers who are in police custody illegally.
Amid tension at Delhi borders, there will be a chakka jam on February 6 between 11 am and 3 pm across the country.
It further said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi, on one hand, says that solution was only one call away, but on the other hand the government was doing its best to block off the protest sites, cut off facilities and inconvenience the public.
