New Delhi: The Indian government accepted the demands of the farmers, after which the farmers called off the protest.
The farmers' protest in India, which has been going on for a year, has ended. The Indian government has finally accepted the demands of the farmers.
According to Indian media, Indian farmers have said that a week after the government agreed to abandon the controversial agrarian reforms, we are ending our demonstrations, which have been going on on a large scale for the last one year.
Thousands of farmers had set up camp on the outskirts of the capital, Delhi, during which dozens of protesters died of heat, cold and cod 19, but they did not give up. They will start returning to their homes on Saturday.
The decision came after the ministers agreed to discuss other demands, including guaranteed prices of produce, and a letter was sent to the protesting farmers by the Indian government.
The farmers' union was protesting against the introduction of three market-friendly laws by the government, which they said would make them helpless in front of big companies and ruin their livelihood.
After months of insisting that the reforms would benefit farmers, Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced on November 19 that his government would repeal the laws. A bill to repeal the reforms was formally passed in parliament on November 30.
The move was hailed as a victory for the farmers and a powerful example of how large-scale protests can still successfully challenge the government.
