New Delhi: With the Union government inviting the protesting farmers to a fresh round of talks on Wednesday, a farmers' union leader on Monday said they will stick to their key demand for repeal of the three farm laws.

"We will participate in the meeting and seek to discuss the proposals we have made. If this goes well, we will then move to other issues, " Bharatiya Kisan Union's national spokesperson Rakesh Tikait said.

"If they (the government) do not agree, we won't hold further talks. The government will have to listen to us and take back the laws. If the government does not listen to us, we will continue sitting here," he asserted.
