While describing the development as a victory of people, Channi said that the farmers have faced several hardships including the vagaries of weather to brave the mighty Union government. He said that though the Union government left no stone unturned to harass, humiliate and demotivate the farmers, but following the footsteps of the great Gurus who have taught us to fight against injustice, oppression and tyranny, the farmers continued their struggle relentlessly. Channi said that this decision is the outcome of the long struggle of the farmers which will be scripted in golden words in annals of history. This win after a long struggle of more than a year marks the downfall of the haughty Modi government and the countdown has now begun when people will oust this tyrannical government and bring back the Congress party to power, he said. With which face will the Akalis and BJP leadership who had been singing paeans eulogising the PM for these laws, come to the people now, Channi quipped. Channi said that the nexus of Akalis-BJP and even Capt. Amarinder Singh made all out efforts to weaken the farmers’ movement but in the end it’s a victory of good over evil.He said that from day one, his government has been opposing these laws tooth and nail.Channi said that the Congress party has also vehemently protested against these laws besides extending all support to agitating farmers.Channi also mentioned that his government outrightly rejected these black farm laws besides repealing the contentious Contract Farming Act 2013 enacted by the then Parkash Singh Badal led SAD-BJP alliance government in the recently concluded special session of Punjab Vidhan Sabha.The CM further said that he had himself prevailed upon the PM to take these laws back during his meeting with him at his office.
