Guwahati News Desk: Reacting to Narendra Modi government’s decision of repealing the three controversial farm laws, Congress President Sonia Gandhi called it a win of truth and non-violence on Friday.
Sonia Gandhi said, “truth, justice and non-violence have won.”
Referring to the sacrifices of the farmers’ families and calling it a win for the ‘annadatas’, Gandhi said, “Today, the sacrifices of more than 700 farmer families, whose members laid down their lives in this struggle for justice, have paid off. Today, truth, justice and non-violence have won.”
She further said, “Today, the conspiracy hatched by those in power against farmers and labourers has lost and so has the arrogance of dictatorial rulers. Today, the conspiracy to attack livelihood and agriculture has been defeated. Today, Annadatas have won.”
She added, “In a democracy, any decision should be taken after talks with every stakeholder and deliberations with the Opposition. I hope the Modi Govt has at least learned something for the future.”
Moreover, the Congress President also asserted on how the BJP government has been attacking the agriculture sector in different ways for the last seven years, be it discontinuation of bonus given to farmers or the conspiracy to provide fair compensation to farmers for their land through an ordinance.
