Bharatiya Kisan Union leader Rakesh Tikait on Sunday said that farmers do not want an apology from Prime Minister Narendra Modi as they do not want to tarnish his image abroad. His statement comes days after the Centre repealed the three agricultural laws against which several farmers’ unions had been protesting for nearly a year. Tikait, reacting to Union Agriculture Minister Narendra Singh Tomar’s recent statement over bringing back three repealed farm laws, had said that the remark was intended to deceive farmers and would also humiliate PM Modi. The three farm laws were repealed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on November 19.
