A spokesperson for the Shiromani Akali Dal and president of the Delhi Sikh Gurudwara Committee, Manjinder Singh Sirsa alleged on December 22 that the Uttar Pradesh Police is stopping thousands of farmers at the Moradabad toll plaza. Farmers who were on their way to join the protesters clashed with police when they were stopped at Rampur-Moradabad toll plaza on NH-24. Meanwhile, protesting farmer unions deferred a decision on the central government's offer for fresh talks to December 23. This comes even as Union Agriculture Minister Narendra Singh Tomar expressed the hope that they will soon resume the dialogue to resolve the impasse over the new agri laws. About 32 farmer union leaders will meet on December 23 to decide the next course of action, pertaining to further talks with the government.
