Haryana Minister Asks Farmers To Thank PM Modi For Rolling Back Farm Laws

PM Modi said that the laws were introduced for the benefit of farmers but a section of farmers could not be convinced “despite best efforts.” 

New Delhi: Haryana Home Minister Anil Vij in a tweet on Friday asked the farmers’ outfits to thank Prime Minister Narendra Modi for announcing the decision to repeal the three farm laws. 

“All farmers' organizations should express their gratitude to Prime Minister Narendra Modi for his announcement to withdraw all three agriculture laws on the occasion of Guru Nanak Dev's Parkash Utsav. They should immediately end their dharnas, return home and carry out their regular work,” the state’s Home Minister wrote in his tweet. 

Prime Minister Narendra Modi earlier today during his address to the nation on the occasion of Guru Nanak Jayanti announced that the government will repeal all three farm laws.

PM said that the laws were introduced for the benefit of farmers but a section of farmers could not be convinced “despite best efforts.”

Following the forming of the legislature, farmers were protesting at the borders of Delhi at Singhu, Ghazipur and Tikri.

11 rounds of formal talks between farmer representatives and the Centre attempted at convincing the farmers that the new laws were pro-farmer. The farmers on the other hand claimed that the legislation will leave the farmers at the mercy of corporations. 

The farmers also are demanding the government to introduce a new law to guarantee Minimum Support Price (MSP) for crops.
