Taapsee Pannu, Sonu Sood and many others celebrate PM Modi’s announcement to withdraw three farm laws

On the occasion of Guru Nanak Jayanti, Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed the nation, announcing that the government has decided to withdraw the three farm laws that have been the focus of farmer protests from the past year. Several Bollywood celebrities praised the move on Twitter. Taapsee Pannu and Richa Chaddha reacted to the news on Twitter. 

Sonu Sood wrote, “This is wonderful news! Thank you, @narendramodi ji, @PMOIndia , for taking back the farm laws. Thank you, farmers, for raising just demands through peaceful protests. Hope you will happily return to be with your families on the Parkash Purab of Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji today.”

In a series of tweets, Gul Panag added, “Grateful to @narendramodi for repealing the Farm Laws, finally.?? I wish we didn’t have to let the impasse last this long, cause so many lives to be lost. And demonise, debase, delegitimise the Farm Protest and the protestors. #Farmlawsrepealed. Let this be a lesson for future Governments to find the means & the will, to engage with all stake holders when bringing about reform. And also a lesson for law makers -that legislative procedure can’t be circumvented by passing laws in minutes, without discussion & debate. And no,farmers are NOT going to forget (or forgive) being called hooligans, ‘mawaalis’ anti nationals , terrorists, goons. Remember that. They have, through their grit & perseverance, forced the hand of this Government, that doesn’t back down, on anything. #Farmlawsrepealed”

Shekhar Suman and filmmaker Hansal Mehta both expressed their support for the farmers.
