Jagjit Singh Dallewal, leader of the non-political Sanyukt Kisan Morcha, may attend the meeting in Chandigarh on February 14 between Punjab farmers and the Center, according to a farmer leader.

The leader confirmed that while Dallewal's health may limit his participation, he will make every effort to attend the meeting and present his views.

It is worth noting that in the previous meeting, the Central Government proposed a five-year plan to purchase certain crops at the minimum support price, but no consensus was reached on all of the farmers' demands. Farmers have continuously called for a legal guarantee on the minimum purchase price for crops.
