Leaders of Indian farmers' unions have agreed to meet ministers tomorrow, possibly paving the way for a seventh round of talks with the government which has so far failed to mollify growers who say three new agricultural laws threaten their livelihoods. 

Worried over farmers' round-the-clock sit-ins on the outskirts of New Delhi, the government of Prime Minister Narendra had on Thursday invited protest leaders to further talks.

Farmers' unions still insist they want the laws repealed, a coalition of unions said on Saturday in a letter to the Ministry of Agriculture and Farmers' Welfare.

Tens of thousands of farmers have camped out on national highways demanding the government withdraw the laws that they fear will eventually dismantle regulated markets and stop the government buying rice and wheat at guaranteed prices.

Modi has dismissed the farmers' protests as motivated by his political opponents.
