Capt Amarinder welcomes PM Modi’s decision to repeal Farm Laws

|HT|

Former Punjab chief minister Capt Amarinder Singh welcomed Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s decision to repeal the three contentious farm laws against which farmers of Punjab and Haryana have been on protest for a year. “Great news! Thankful to PM @narendramodi ji for acceding to the demands of every Punjabi and repealing the three black laws on the pious occasion of #GuruNanakJayanti. I am sure the central government will continue to work in tandem for the development of the kisan (farmer),” Capt Amarinder Singh tweeted, tagging Union home minister Amit Shah, who he had met recently after stepping down as CM and quitting the Congress as the state heads for assembly elections early next year.

“This has not only come as a huge relief for farmers but has paved the way for Punjab’s progress. I look forward to working closely with the BJP-led Centre for the development of farmers. I promise Punjab’s people I won’t rest till I wipe every tear from every single eye,” Capt Amarinder added.
