Modi government to cancel three farm laws

New Delhi : Prime Minister Narendra Modi today announced that his government will withdraw all three controversial farm laws in next parliament session. He said that the government has formed a committee, comprising Centre, agri experts and farmers, to work on benefits for crop growers. “I shall never stop from doing good work. What I did was for the country, what I will do will be for my country. Trust me, I will work more so that your dreams can come true,” PM Modi said, adding that they are working on changing crop pattern.

The announcement came on the Guru Purab festival, when Sikhism founder Guru Nanak’s birthday is celebrated across India, mainly in Punjab, where elections will be held in three months.

“Maybe something was lacking in our tapasya, which is why we could not convince some farmers about the laws. But today is Prakash Parv, not the time to blame anyone. Today, I want to tell the country that we have decided to repeal the three farm laws,” PM Modi said in an address to the nation.


Bharatiya Kisan Union (BKU) leader Rakesh Tikait tweets, “The agitation will not be taken back. We will wait for the day when the farm laws will be scrapped in the Parliament. Government should talk on other issues of farmers too, besides MSP.”
