Repeal of farm laws bold initiative: Devender Singh Rana

Jammu, November 21

Attributing the repeal of the farm laws to Narendra Modi’s “unflinching faith” in democracy, BJP leader Devender Singh Rana on Sunday said the Prime Minister has emerged as a “democrat-statesman” who took a bold inititative by announcing the rollback of the three agri laws at the centre of protests by farmers for the past year.

“The nation is proud of the sagacious political stand taken by the Prime Minister in the interest of the nation and for satiating the urges of farmers,” Rana, a former legislator, said at a function here.

He also hailed the reopening of Kartarpur Sahib corridor to enable devotees to pay obeisance at Gurdwara Darbar Sahib in Pakistan, notwithstanding the “cowardice of the neighbouring nation” which has inflicted many scars on Indian psyche by being a corroborator in the most inhuman acts. The corridor links the revered gurdwara, the final resting place of Sikhism founder Guru Nanak Dev, to Dera Baba Nanak shrine in Punjab's Gurdaspur district. — PTI
