Amid ongoing protests by some farm organisations, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday strongly defended the new farm laws and said the changes met the long-pending demands of the agriculture sector and a new set of rights for farmers had also started delivering results.
In his monthly radio address ‘Mann ki Baat’, the PM said the reforms had opened doors to new possibilities and urged those studying and researching agriculture to go to villages and create awareness about the new laws that aim to offer more options for sale and also set out rules to protect farmers.
“After a lot of deliberation, the Indian Parliament gave agricultural reforms a legal recognition. These reforms have not only served to unshackle our farmers but also have given them new rights and opportunities. In just a short span of time, these new rights have begun to address the sufferings of our farmers,” Modi said.
