New farm laws will benefit small, marginal farmers the most: PM Modi

TIL Desk/National/New Delhi/ As the ongoing farmers’ protest entered the 83rd day on Tuesday against the three contentious farm laws enacted last year, Prime Minister Narendra Modi clarified that these laws will mostly benefit small and marginal farmers.

The Prime Minister said that the government’s aim is to make each citizen prosper and make India ‘Aatmanirbhar’ (self-reliant).

Hitting out at opposition parties without taking names, the Prime Minister said that some people have been spreading rumours against these laws against which thousands of farmers mainly from Punjab and Haryana have been sitting on indefinite protest on various Delhi borders.

Addressing people through video conferencing after laying foundation stone and inaugurating projects at Maharaja Suheldev Memorial in Uttar Pradesh’s Bahraich, the Prime Minister said that a false narrative is being spread among people against these laws for political benefits.
