However, this was done in typical Modi style, without an iota of grace, truth or democratic procedure. There was no debate allowed at all on the bill tabled to repeal the three laws. Consequently, the repeal took only four minutes.Even as this historical development of repeal of three black laws took place, more than 686 farmers have sacrificed their lives in a peaceful and persistent year long protest.
