By repealing farm laws, Modi govt admits that its law-making process trampled upon the Constitution and legislative intent -SN Sahu

The announcement of the imminent repeal of the three controversial farm laws signals a victory for not just the year-long farmers’ mass movement and civil society, but also represents a triumph of Constitutional values, writes S.N. SAHU.

MAHATMA Gandhi had very presciently told the peasant leader N.G. Ranga on October 29, 1944, “If the legislature proves itself to be incapable of safeguarding kisans’ interests they will of course always have the sovereign remedy of civil disobedience and non-co-operation.” 

The year-long farmers’ agitation against the farm laws captured the vision of Gandhi as well as the spirit of his first satyagraha in Champaran against the British planters, who forced farmers in Bihar to plant indigo in huge swathes of their fertile agricultural land. Eventually, because of Gandhi’s satyagraha, the practice of forcible plantation of indigo on the dictation of British planters was repealed by enacting the Champaran Agrarian Act in 1918.
