India: Indian Government Withdraws Three Farm Laws Following Months of Protests

On November 19, 2021, Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced that the government will withdraw the three agricultural laws enacted in September 2020. On November 29, 2021, Parliament approved a bill withdrawing the three laws. Meanwhile, protesting farmers, galvanized by their success, have made further demands including legalizing the minimum support price (MSP) market intervention, among other demands. On December 9, 2021, the Indian government gave written assurances to the protestors’ additional demands and agreed to set up a committee to review MSP legalization.
