Stating that PM Modi has announced the withdrawal of the farm laws, Union Minister General VK Singh (retd) said the continuation of the protests by the farmers is beyond one's comprehension.
The continued stir by farmers despite the withdrawal of the three central farm laws by Prime Minister Narendra Modi defies one's "comprehension", Union Minister General V K Singh (Retd) said on Tuesday.
The minister of state for Road Transport and Highways and Civil Aviation made the observation while taking stock of the construction of an elevated highway from the Akshardham temple in Delhi to Baghpat in Uttar Pradesh.
The prime minister announced the repeal of the law during the upcoming parliament session, considering the honour of the farmers, said Mr Singh, while also making an appeal to farmers to consider saving their 'saakh' (prestige).
"The continuation of the protests by the farmers is beyond one's comprehension. The farmers must think of saving their 'saakh' (goodwill)," said Mr Singh, during an interaction with reporters in Baghpat.
