After a Supreme Court bench led by Chief Justice SA Bobde said on Monday, 11 January, that the court has made up its mind to stay the implementation of the three farm laws, the united farmers' union has hardened its stand, stating that all the farmers' organisations, which are spearheading the fight against the farm laws, are unanimous in their decision that the laws must be repealed forthwith and have decided not to attend the committee if formed by the apex court.

While "all organisations express great respect for the Hon'ble Supreme Court for it's understanding of the problem and comforting words expressed during the hearing today," they are collectively and individually not willing to participate in any proceeding before a committee that may be appointed by the apex court, said the statement issued by the unions.
