New Delhi: The Congress party will on Saturday organise rallies across the country to celebrate the repeal of the three contentious farm laws. the rollback was announced by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in a televised address to the nation on Friday where he apologised to the protesting farmers and said the government failed to convince them about the benefits of the laws.
The Congress party had taken a jibe at the government, saying the decision has been taken not for the welfare of the government but due to the upcoming elections. The party had announced that it will celebrate ‘Kisan Vijay Diwas’ on Saturday and organise victory rallies.
The farm laws were passed by Parliament in September last year. While the Centre said they are beneficial for the farmers, it immediately triggered protests by the cultivators who claimed the laws benefit big corporate houses.
