Modi government repealed the farm laws ‘undemocratically’: Sonia Gandhi
The Hindu
At the Congress Parliamentary Party meeting, the Congress president said that credible steps must be taken to prevent the recurrence of ghastly tragedies like the Nagaland firing
Congress president Sonia Gandhi, addressing the Congress Parliamentary Party meeting in New Delhi on Wednesday, accused the Modi government of undemocratically repealing the farm laws, just the way they were enacted.
"The Government has finally repealed the three farm laws. In this government’s usual style, the repeal was done undemocratically just as their passage last year was pushed through without discussion," Ms. Gandhi said.
"Farmers and farmer organisations have been strongly protesting and agitating against these laws for the past 13 months. The Congress Party has been pressing for their repeal along with many other Opposition parties. It is the solidarity and tenacity, of the farmers, their discipline and dedication that has forced an arrogant Government to climb down. Let us salute them for their great achievement,"the Congress president said.
