The Narendra Modi government has decided to repeal all three farm laws as informed by PM himself. While addressing the nation PM Modi said that “I want to tell everyone that we have decided to repeal all three farm laws.”
PM Modi said – “We worked to provide farmers with seeds at reasonable rates and facilities like micro-irrigation, 22 crore soil health cards. Such factors have contributed to increased agriculture production. We strengthened Fasal Bima Yojana, brought more farmers under it.”
He further added “To ensure that farmers get the right amount for their hard work, many steps were taken. We strengthened the rural infrastructure market. We not only increased MSP but also set up record govt procurement centres. Procurement by our govt broke the record of the past several decades. When I became PM in 2014, we (govt) prioritized farmers’ welfare & development… Many people are unaware of the truth that 80/100 are small-scale farmers who have less than 2 hectares of land and are over 10 crores in population. This piece of land is their survival.”
Thousands of farmers from Punjab, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan have been camping outside Delhi since November 2020, demanding that the laws be withdrawn. The protests did not stop through several rounds of talks between the government and farmers, disruptions in parliament and Supreme Court hearings
