Thank you,@narendramodi ji, @PMOIndia, for taking back the farm laws. Thank you, farmers, for raising just demands through peaceful protests. Hope you will happily return to be with your families on the Parkash Purab of Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji today.

Gul Panag too shared her take on the controversial laws
Let this be a lesson for future Governments to find the means & the will, to engage with all stake holders when bringing about reform.

And also a lesson for law makers -that legislative procedure can’t be circumvented by passing laws in minutes, without discussion & debate. 2/2
