Kejriwal likens the day of farmers’ victory to Republic Day and Independence Day
Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Friday congratulated all the farmers whose tireless struggle over the last year bore fruit when Prime Minister Narendra Modi repealed the three farm laws.
The farmers’ struggle, which forced the Centre to bow down and withdraw the laws, was not only a huge victory for them but also for democracy, he said.
“Today’s day is a golden day in the history of India. This day will be written with golden letters in the chronicles of Indian history like August 15 and January 26. The Central Government had to finally bow down in front of the farmers’ tireless struggle and withdraw all the kale kanoon [black laws],” Mr. Kejriwal told a digital briefing.
