PM Narendra Modi decision historic, respects the true essence of democracy: UP CM Yogi Adityanath
Description
LUCKNOW: Terming Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s decision to repeal farm laws as historic, chief minister Yogi Adityanath said, may be at some level the government was unable to communicate its views to farmers, who later launched protests. He praised the PM for respecting the essence of dialogue in democracy. “Initially, many believed the laws could play a key role in doubling income of farmers. However, when farm organisations came out in protest, the government tried to hold dialogue with them. Maybe, there was something lacking on our part that we failed to explain our point of view to farmers. Honouring dialogue in a democracy, PM announced withdrawal of three farm laws and the setting up of a committee on minimum support price,” the CM said. Earlier, while attending Guru Parab celebrations organised by Naka Hindola gurdwara in Lucknow, he said, “Krishi kanoon chahe jaisa bhi raha ho, loktantra me iski awaz ansuni ni kar sakte. Aapsi samvad se hum iska samna karenge. (Whatever may have been the farm laws, it’s our duty to hear the voices of people in a democracy. We will deal with it through dialogue)," he said. The CM also highlighted the importance of the announcement on the occasion of Gurpurab, which celebrates the birth of Guru Nanak, the first Sikh guru.
