NEW DELHI, 16 February, 2021 (TON): after the 83rd day of the farmers’ protests against the three farm laws, on Tuesday PM Modi, clarified that these laws will mostly benefit small and marginal farmers.

The PM said that the government's aim is to make each citizen prosper and make India 'Aatmanirbhar' (self-reliant).

While targeting the opposition parties, the Prime Minister said that some people have been spreading rumors against these laws against which thousands of farmers mainly from Punjab and Haryana have been sitting on indefinite protest on various Delhi borders.

Stressing that false narrative is being spread among people against these laws for political benefits, Mr. Modi said, "The new agriculture reforms will benefit small and marginal farmers the most. Some people are propagating rumors against these reforms."

In an obvious attack on the Congress, Modi said "those who used to invite foreign firms in India are now protesting against the government which is trying to give the opportunity to the Indian private companies".

He said that the farmers themselves have unmasked those politicians who have been spreading rumors against these laws since they were enacted in the Monsoon Session of Parliament in September last year.

Similarly, the Svamitva Scheme was made into focus by the PM and appreciated that it is also being run across the country to protect the lands of farmers as it is playing a role like armor to protect the lands and people are witnessing.
