Farm laws repeal | A feel of victory, but fields of discontent

The Hindu  

Gurmeet Singh, 73, stands tall at the edge of a concrete sidewalk at the Dhareri Jattan toll plaza in Punjab’s Patiala. The Centre’s assurance that it will repeal the three controversial farm laws is only “a battle half won” for the farmers, he says. “Some leaders say that for the sake of unity among different communities — mainly Hindus and Sikhs — the government announced the repeal of the farm laws,” Gurmeet says. Not just farmers; other people will also not forgive the BJP.” Gurmeet says several attempts were made by some BJP leaders to malign the ongoing agitation by labelling the protesters as “Khalistanis” and “anti-national”. Another farmer, Gurnekh Singh, who has a three-acre farm, says the agitation can have a positive impact on electoral politics, which “will now revolve around farmers’ issues”.
