Prime Minister Narendra Modi had announced on 19th November 2021 that the controversial farm laws against which the farmers had been protesting for a long time had been taken back. He has mentioned that the laws were for the benefits of the farmers but they have to be repealed because the people of the nation are not accepting the laws to be their own. The decision of farm laws repeal was announced by PM on 19th morning at 9 AM.
The farmers had been protesting in several states over the last year. More than 700 farmers have already lost their lives during the protest. The farmers of Lakhimpur Kheri were also run over by the son of one of the Union Ministers.
The Farm Laws Repeal By The Government
The farm laws repeal has been one of the strongest and controversial decisions taken by the government. PM Modi has mentioned that they had a lot of plans for the farmers of the nations. The increased agricultural production was the aim of the present government. He has stated that they have failed to explain to the farmers the necessity of the farm laws.
Despite the repeal of the farm laws, the farmers have mentioned that they have to continue their protest against the conditions of the farmers at the present. The death of several agricultural laborers over the last year has invigorated the farmers against the present state of agriculture as well.
