farm laws to be repealed!

before anything else, i am thinking of the 700 plus farmers and workers who died protesting over the past year. lives deemed worthless to this regime.

i think of the grandparents who froze to death. the journalists abducted. the farmers trampled to death. the activists jailed.

it’s almost a year since farmers from punjab began a long march to delhi in opposition to the modi regime’s corporate monopolization of agriculture. in the year since, we saw the resilience of the farmers and the oppression of the state.

SKM statement on Modi Govt's declaration of repealing farm laws.

PM Narendra Modi announced the Government of India's decision to repeal all three anti-farmer, pro-corporate black laws first brought in as Ordinances in June 2020. He chose to announce this on Guru Nanak Jayanti.

Samyukt Kisan Morcha welcomes this decision and will wait for the announcement to take effect through due parliamentary procedures. If this happens, it will be a historic victory of the one year long farmers' struggle in India.

However, nearly 700 farmers have been martyred in this struggle. The central government's obstinacy is responsible for these avoidable deaths, including the murders at Lakhimpur Kheri.
