Farm laws: Delhi endorses resolution

New Delhi: Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Friday congratulated farmers on the success of their movement against the Centre’s farm laws, and said their victory is the victory of democracy and the AAP government supports their demands.

The Delhi Assembly also passed a resolution seeking repeal of the three farm laws, compensation to families of over 700 farmers who died during the protests and legal guarantee of minimum support price for crops.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi had recently announced that the controversial farm laws would be repealed. Replying to a discussion on a resolution tabled in the House to repeal the farm laws, Kejriwal said, “The victory of farmers is the victory of democracy. We support pending demands of farmers, we are with them”.

The resolution, moved by Delhi Minister Gopal Rai, was passed with a voice vote by the assembly. -(PTI)
