Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced on Friday that the government will repeal the three farm laws introduced last year that led to a massive protest of farmers, especially in Punjab and Haryana.
In his address to the nation on November 19, Modi also appealed to the protesting farmers to return to their homes. He said the government will set up a committee to address all issues impacting farmers. Scientists, farmer groups, state and central officials will be a part of this new panel.
The goal of bringing the three farm laws was to empower farmers, especially small farmers. The three laws were in farmers' benefit and many farmers across the country welcomed it, said Modi. However, there was a section of farmers that protested against it.
"We couldn't convince that section of farmers despite best efforts. We have decided to repeal those three farm laws," the PM said. He added the government will complete the process in the winter session of Parliament.
In September 2020, Parliament passed three bills the government said were aimed at freeing up pricing, production and trade in agriculture, allowing farmers to sell their produce wherever they wanted instead of restricting them to local government-controlled mandis.
Experts said these reforms will enable farmers to escape from the clutches of middlemen and trader cartels, open new channels and foster competition in the supply chain, and provide some stability to an occupation beset with volatility.
Farmers, especially from Punjab and Haryana, rose in protest demanding the repeal of the laws and replacing them with another set of laws enacted after taking all stakeholders into confidence.
They also demanded a guarantee on minimum support prices (MSP) as they felt the new laws may lead to the end of central procurement under MSPs.

Narendra Modi Address Live Updates | PM should apologise to farmers for pain caused due to farm laws: Congress
The Congress on Friday said the BJP's "fear of defeat" in the upcoming state assembly polls has forced Prime Minister Narendra Modi to take back his decision on three farm laws. The party also demanded that the prime minister apologise to the farmers for the "pain" inflicted on them. Congress general secretary and chief spokesperson Randeep Surjewala also posed a set of five questions to the government, asking what is the roadmap and way forward for giving MSP to farmers, doubling farmers' income and of freeing them from debt. He said the "anti-farmer" BJP's powers and those of its capitalist friends have finally lost and today is the day of the defeat of Modi's "arrogance".
"The BJP and Prime Minister Narendra Modi's arrogance had to bow before the farmers but the country will not forget your sin. People have now understood that the victory of Indians and India lies ahead of BJP's defeat," he told reporters at a press conference after the prime minister announced the repeal of three farm laws. "The Modi government and PM Modi have publicly accepted their crime and it is now time for the people to pronounce punishment for this crime. The public has understood that the country's victory lies in BJP's defeat," Surjewala said. "Modi ji is seeing his loss clearly in upcoming elections and this fear has forced him to take back his decision and shed his 'raaj hath' (stubbornness)," he charged. He alleged that PM Modi is responsible for the death of 700 farmers who lost their lives during the agitation and said he should now apologise to them. He said today is the day of the "defeat of the conspiracy to sell farm lands of farmers" and is the day of the victory of farmers, labourers and shopkeepers and is also the day of the victory of the "martyrdom of over 700 farmers who gave away their lives for the agitation against the farm laws".

Repealing the farm laws is a victory of agitating farmers of the country, Telangana PCC president Revanth Reddy said in a statement complementing the peasant community for their incessant stir against the new legislations.
''This is a historic victory in the history of farmers' struggle. Even dictators would succumb to the anger of farmers who are the backbone of the country,'' Reddy said. All the tactics being applied to suppress the farmers' agitation became futile and had the Centre realised the seriousness of the situation in time, so many lives lost in the agitation would have been saved, he added.
