Thank you,@narendramodi ji, @PMOIndia, for taking back the farm laws. Thank you, farmers, for raising just demands through peaceful protests. Hope you will happily return to be with your families on the Parkash Purab of Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji today.— sonu sood (@SonuSood) November 19, 2021
On the other hand, the CPI(M) said that PM Modi should apologise for the trouble caused by his “dictatorial step.” CPI (M) general secretary Sitaram Yechury, in a tweet, said, “The quest for justice for those targeted by the government and its agencies through false cases will continue.”

The PM must apologise for the hardship and trouble caused by his dictatorial step of farm laws to benefit his crony business partners. https://t.co/5tFOWuX6hp— Sitaram Yechury (@SitaramYechury) November 19, 2021
Modi expresses no remorse over the deaths of our annadatas due to his year long obduracy.
Modi continues to justify these black laws even now!
Refuses to learn from this historic, spirited, inspiring and brave struggle. https://t.co/wAZjuVlBZi— Sitaram Yechury (@SitaramYechury) November 19, 2021
Bahujan Samajwadi Party (BSP) chief Mayawati said that the move came very late. She further demanded framing a law to assure support price for farmers’ produce.
Tamil Nadu Chief Minister and DMK president MK Stalin welcomed the decision.
I wholeheartedly welcome Hon’ble @PMOIndia‘s decision to repeal the three anti-farmer laws.
History teaches us that people’s wishes shall prevail in a democracy.
I congratulate all the farmers & bow down to their determination for having achieved this through Gandhian means.
