Stating that the government will find a solution to the problems, Singh said: “Some forces have tried to create some misperceptions among farmers. We have also spoken with several farmers. My only request to farmers is to have a logic-based discussion on the clauses and not seek a “yes” or “no” answer. We will find a solution to the problem. I have seen the laws myself and am aware of the problems of farmers. Farmers should at least view the implementation of these laws for two years as an experiment. We will be willing to make any necessary modifications if necessary. If farmers want experts to talk to the government to amend certain clauses, we are completely flexible. “
“It is not about being insensitive when it comes to farmers. Our farmers are holding demonstrations and I am not the only one hurt. Prime Minister Narendra Modi is also hurt, “he added.

Speaking about the border confrontation between India and China along the Royal Line of Control (LAC) in eastern Ladakh, the Defense Minister said that no “meaningful solution” has emerged from the diplomatic and military talks with China to resolve the confrontation and that there is “status quo”. “It is true that to reduce the confrontation between India and China, talks were taking place at the military and diplomatic level. But so far no success has been achieved. There will be a next round of talks at the military level that can take place at any time. But no significant results have come and there is a status quo. ” AND ME Singh quoted as saying.
“If there is a status quo, it is natural how implementation can be reduced. There will be no reduction in our deployment and I thought their deployment will not decrease either. I don’t think the status quo is a positive development at all. The talks are underway and result in a positive result, that is our expectation ”, he added.
When asked about China’s expansionary goals, Singh said AND ME: “If a country is expansionist and tries to occupy our land, then India has the strength, the ability and the power not to let its land fall into the hands of anyone, be it a country of the world.”
