The black laws had to be repealed. This is the success of the farmers. This is the success of the country.”

If you have made a mistake, then compensate the loss
Rahul said that these three laws were an attack on farmers and laborers. The list of hardships faced by farmers and laborers is long, not limited to MSP and loan waiver. They are still demanding and we support them. You said – PM apologized, it means PM accepted that 700 people died due to his mistake, his mistake led to agitation. If they have accepted the mistake, then the loss will have to be compensated.

The Congress leader said, “The way laws were repealed in Parliament without any discussion, it shows that the government is afraid of discussion. The government knows that it has done wrong. After 700 farmers’ deaths and enforcement of laws. Whose power was behind it, it was to be discussed, but the government did not allow it.”

Tikait said – our movement will continue
Meanwhile, Samyukta Kisan Morcha leader Rakesh Tikait said, “Agriculture laws have been withdrawn, but now the MSP and farmers’ problems should be discussed. We will hold a meeting on December 4 and the direction of the movement will be decided in that. Till then our movement will continue.”

Modi had appealed to maintain peace before the session
Ahead of the commencement of the winter session of Parliament, Prime Minister Narendra Modi appealed to political parties to maintain peace and decorum. The PM said that there should be a question in Parliament, but peace should also be maintained.

The Prime Minister’s gesture was towards the uproar of the opposition.

Here, the Congress staged a sit-in in the Parliament premises demanding the return of agricultural laws. Party leaders including Congress working president Sonia Gandhi and Rahul attended it.
