Imphal, November 21 2021:
United Front Mani-pur (UFM) has welcomed the decision of the Centre to withdraw the three contentious farm laws.
Addressing a press meet at Manipur Press Club here on Sunday, UFM chairman Th Surjabor said that the decision of the central government is appreciated even if it has come a little late.
Lives of hundreds of farmers could have been saved if the government heard the demand of the farmers and withdrew the farm laws earlier, he opined.
Though PM Narendra Modi assured of repealing the farm laws, farmers are planning to continue the protest until the three Acts are officially withdrawn in the parliament, he pointed out, while stressing the need for the government to support the farmers and hear their voices.
