New Delhi, Sep 8 (IANS) Amid farmers protest in Karnal, former Haryana Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda said on Wednesday that the government should avoid confrontation with the farmers and find amicable solution.
He said confrontation is not good as farmers have every right to protest peacefully for their demands.
Hooda said, "the farmers are demanding MSP guarantee and go and see what is the position in Mandis as even input cost of the farming is not covered."
The government should initiate talks with the farmers immediately and come out with some solution, he said
