PM Modi Withdraws Farm Laws; Shocking Announcement Before Elections

In a shocking announcement today, Prime Minister Narendra Modi informed that the central government is taking back the three controversial farm laws. The announcement came amid a massive farmers protest that has been going on for over a year. The government's decision to withdraw the farm laws came on the Guru Purab festival, wherein Guru Nanak Ji's birthday is celebrated across India. In the address to the nation at 9 am, PM Modi said: "Maybe something was lacking in our tapasya, which is why we could not convince some farmers about the laws. But today is Prakash Parv, not the time to blame anyone. Today, I want to tell the country that we have decided to repeal the three farm laws. I appeal to all farmers who are protesting, on this good day of Guru Purab, to go home in good spirits," "We have also taken another decision, a committee will be constituted to look into all aspects of agriculture," added the Prime Minister. The Prime Minister Office informed that PM Narendra Modi will now visit Jhansi to join the Rashtra Raksha Samarpan Parv and also inaugurate the Defence Industrial Corridor today.  https://twitter.com/narendramodi/status/1461537443337818113
