New Delhi: The Government has agreed to hold a discussion on the farmers' issue after the participation of Opposition in discussions on Presidential Address and Union Budget, and consideration of four Ordinances in the Parliament, a news agency reported quoting sources.
Earlier in the day, Lok Sabha witnessed two adjournments as opposition MPs continued their protest against the three contentious farm laws and raised slogans demanding their repeal.

Congress leader in Lok Sabha Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury later said there should be a separate discussion on agitation by farmers against the three farm laws.
"We have urged the government for a separate discussion in Lok Sabha over farmers' agitation. Various issues are discussed in Motion of Thanks to the President's Address. Our only demand is separate discussion over farmers' issue after discussion on Motion of Thanks. We do want a discussion but the government should say that there will be a stand-alone discussion on agriculture," he said.
