PM Modi made this announcement yesterday:

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday announced the government's decision to repeal the three new agricultural laws. These are the same laws the farmers have been protesting over since last year. He has also appealed the farmers to end their protest and return home.

Addressing the nation on the auspicious occasion of Guru Nanak Jayanti on Friday, Prime Minister Modi said that these laws were for the benefit of farmers but he would like to apologize to the people for not being able to persuade a section of farmers to accept these laws.
