Version imprimableRS Statement on Repeal of Farm Laws
The battle has been won, but the war is still on
After over 15 months of farmers protests, Modi has finally been made to accept defeat and to come out and announce the repeal of the three farm laws. Indeed, this is a historic win. After dismantling the anti NRC/CAA movement, by staging Delhi riots and throwing the anti-Hindutva activists in prisons, this was the second formidable challenge for the Modi regime. We in Radical Socialist salute the indomitable will and perseverance shown by so many farmers, their families and their supporters that has forced this authoritarian regime to bow down. The positive lesson to be learnt is this---only a movement deeply rooted in the people and anti-neoliberal in its character can formidably defy this Hindutva far-right government.
The particular timing of the announcement is significant in two respects. First, this is the day of Gurpurab of the first Guru of Sikhs
