The cancellation of the three contentious farm laws — which took place in parliament today on the first day of the Winter Session — is the “success of farmers, success of country”, Congress’s Rahul Gandhi told the media today. He, however, questioned the move to push through the bill without a discussion in the Lok Sabha, saying the government was “scared”. “The fact is that the Central government could not face the strength of the Indian people represented by farmers in this case. The upcoming state elections must have also played on their mind,” he added.
