President Ram Nath Kovind has signed a bill to cancel three controversial farm laws, against which farmers - especially from Haryana, Punjab and western Uttar Pradesh - have been protesting for a year.
The bill to cancel the three farm laws was passed in record time in both houses of parliament on the first day of the winter session on Monday. The farm laws repeal bill was passed in Lok Sabha within four minutes amid opposition demands for a discussion.
In Rajya Sabha, it was passed after a short discussion.
Three controversial farm laws at the heart of massive farmer protests across the country for over a year was withdrawn by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on November 19 in a stunning announcement just months before elections in states like Uttar Pradesh and Punjab.
