New Delhi (PNS): As farmers’ unions started their ‘Kisaan Parliament’ at Jantar Mantar to pay tribute to those who died during the ongoing agitation, Union Agriculture Minister Narendra Singh Tomar on Thursday yet again urged them to leave the path of agitation and come for talks. Tomar said farmers across the country have favoured the three farm laws. Tomar said, “I want to tell through you (media) that farm- ers should leave the path of protest and come for dialogue. We are ready for talks if they come with issues in the bills point wise. If they come with their proposal, we are ready to discuss,” he said. Asserting that the government is sensitive towards farm- ers, the minister said in the last seven years under the leader- ship of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, major steps have been taken in the agriculture sector, the benefits of which are reach- ing cultivators across the country. “Country has witnessed that these farm laws are beneficial and are in favour of farmers. We have had discussions about these laws. If they express their issues with the laws point-wise, we can discuss it,” Tomar added. !"#$% '()*+ ! ,- ,.,/ 8

op seed and world No 1 Amit Panghal (52kg) was Tamong four Indian boxers who got byes into the Olympic Games pre-quarterfinals as the country’s pugilists geared up for a tough campaign going by the draws unveiled here on Thursday. An unprecedented nine Indian boxers would be vying for medals at the showpiecess. Panghal will step into the ring on July 31 in the last-16-stage against the winner of the contest between Botswana’s Mahommed Rajab Otukile and Colombia’s Yuberjen Herney Rivas Martinez. Martinez was the light flyweight Silver-medal- list at the Rio Games. The 25-year-old Asian Games champion Indian, who is expected to advance, might find China’s Hu Jianguan, the 2016 Olympics Bronze-medallist, as a possible quarterfinal opponent. In the women’s competition, six-time world champion M C Mary Kom (51kg) will square off against Dominica’s Miguelina Hernandez on July 25 and up next for her would be Colombian third seed 2016 Olympic Bronze-medallist Ingrit Lorena Victoria Valencia as she pursues a second Olympic medal. Also getting a bye was former Asian Games Bronze-medallist Satish Kumar (+91kg), who is the first super heavyweight from India to make the Olympic cut. He will face Jamaica’s Ricardo Brown in the pre-quarters and if he wins, the Armyman will run into top seed Bakhodir Jalolov of Uzbekistan. Debutant Ashish Chaudhary (75kg), who has been an Asian Silver-medallist, will be up against China’s Erbieke Touheta in his Games opener. The winner meets Brazilian third seed Hebert Sousa in the pre-quarters. Sousa was a Bronze-medal- list at the 2019 world championships. Commonwealth Games Silver-medallist Manish Kaushik (63kg), also making his Games debut, has Britain’s European Silver-medallist Luke McCormack to contend with in the opener. Another fancied Indian Vikas Krishan (69kg) will take on Japan’s Mensah Okazawa in the round of 32 on Saturday and if he crosses this hurdle, he will be fighting Cuba’s third-seeded 2012 Olympic Gold- medallist Roniel Iglesias. In the women’s draw, Pooja Rani (75kg) will take on Algeria’s Ichrak Chaib, in her opening bout and will be up against China’s second seed Li Qian if she progresses. Qian is the reigning Asian champion and the 2018 edition world champion. Lovlina Borgohain (69kg) got a bye and will face Germany’s Nadine Apetz in her opening clash. Simranjit Kaur (60kg) also got a bye and has Thailand’s Sudaporn Seesondee awaiting her in the pre-quarters. Indian tennis player Sumit Nagal will face Uzbekistan’s Denis Istomin in the opening round of the men’s singles event at the Olympics. Nagal, who qualified for the Games last week after large-scale withdrawals, was pitted against the lower-ranked Uzbek in the draw on Thursday. A first-round win for the 23-year-old Indian, ranked 160, could see him face second-seeded Russia’s Daniil Medvedev next. In women’s doubles, six-time Grand Slam champion Sania Mirza and Ankita Raina will lock horns with the Kichenok twins — Nadiia and Lyudmyla — of Ukraine in the opening round. 46 31 ( A total of 20 Indian athletes from seven sports and six officials will participate in the Olympics open- ing ceremony on Friday as Covid-19 concerns and competitions lined up the next day led to a major- ity of the contingent deciding to stay away from the event. Athletes from sports like shooting, badminton, archery and hockey, will skip the ceremony as the Indian delegation is not willing to expose them to the risk of contracting the virus with their events lined up on Saturday. From hockey, only flag-bearer, men’s team cap- tain Manpreet Singh, will participate in the ceremo- ny. The list of 20 attendees include four paddlers, including Manika Batra and A Sharath Kamal, and as many sailing team members. Lone fencer C A Bhavani Devi, gymnast Pranati Naik and swimmer Sajan Prakash besides as many as eight boxers will also be there. Apart from MC Mary Kom, who is also a flag-bearer alongside Manpreet, Lovlina Borgohain, Pooja Rani, Amit Panghal, Manish Kaushik, Ashish Kumar and Satish Kumar will participate in the cer- emony.
