Prime Minister Narendra Modi recently announced that the government would repeal all three agricultural laws which offended a certain class of farmers and the government failed to persuade them.

The central government has decided to repeal the agricultural laws following a farmers’ agitation that has been going on for almost a year. It is worth noting that violence was erupted while protesting against the law and about 600 farmers were killed throughout the year.
