“We (government) have decided to withdraw all three farms and agricultural laws,” said Modi.

This means any farmer can sell his reaps at any price in the market. This may seem a good step. But in reality, big companies’ monopoly would have crushed down the entire market resulting in a loss to small and individual farmers.
This law was termed controversial by many farmers as they came out on the streets in protest against the passed farm laws.
After a year, Narendra Modi’s government has finally decided to revoke all three passed laws. Farmers are happy about it and hope that this step will bring stability to the market.
