Day after the eighth round of talks between the government and protesting farm unions failed to resolve the deadlock over three new agricultural reform laws, Congress interim president Sonia Gandhi on Saturday held a virtual meeting with the party’s General Secretaries and In-Charges to discuss the current political scenario and farmers’ issue, sources said.
Besides Sonia Gandhi, Congress General Secretary (Organisation) K. C.

Punia and several others attended the meeting.
On Friday, Priyanka Gandhi met party’s MPs and MLAs staging protest at Jantar Mantar here against the three farm laws for the last 32 days.
