Farm laws to be cancelled: The announcement on Guru Nanak Jayanti was greeted with much praise in Punjab and Haryana
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi is among several leaders who tweeted minutes after Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced that the three farm laws introduced last year will be cancelled. देश के अन्नदाता ने सत्याग्रह से अहंकार का सर झुका दिया।अन्याय के खिलाफ़ ये जीत मुबारक हो!जय हिंद, जय हिंद का किसान!#FarmersProtesthttps://t.co/enrWm6f3Sq Arrogance loses.From hubris to on your knees.
The announcement on Guru Nanak Jayanti was greeted with much praise in Punjab and Haryana, whose farmers have been protesting against the three farm laws introduced amid the COVID-19 pandemic.
Mr Gandhi, whose party is a fierce critic of the farm laws brought under controversial circumstances, appeared to lose no time in taking a swipe at PM Modi over the announcement to cancel the farm laws.
"The country's farmers have defeated arrogance with their satyagraha. Jai Hindi, Jai Hindi's farmers," Mr Gandhi tweeted, along with an old tweet from January this year where he said, "Mark my words, the government will have to take back the anti-farm laws."
