Parliament: Bill to repeal farm laws passed in Lok Sabha
New Delhi/IBNS: A bill has been passed by Parliament's lower house, Lok Sabha, to repeal the three contentious farm laws that have triggered massive protests in and around Delhi.
The bill was passed by voice votes without any discussion.
It is also expected to be passed by Rajya Sabha, the upper house of Parliament, after 2 pm.
Earlier this month, Modi apologised to the nation and said he will take back the agricultural reforms, which he, as the Prime Minister said, failed to make a section of farmers understand.
However, the protesting farmers are in no mood to call off their agitation as they demand the legalisation of Minimum Support Price (MSP) by the government after the repeal of the laws.
"We can call off protests only after the government agrees to all our demands," a farmer said.
