Success of farmers' stir 'victory of democracy', says Delhi CM Kejriwal

TIL Desk/National/New Delhi/ As farmers decided to end their stir against the three farm laws on Thursday, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal termed it as a “historic success” of the farmers’ movement and “victory of democracy”.

 The Samyukta Kisan Morcha (SKM), an umbrella body of 40 farm unions, that had been leading anti-farm law protests at Delhi borders for over a year, earlier in the day decided to suspend the agitation.

It also announced that farmers will go back home on December 11 from the protest sites at Delhi borders.”After the historic success of the farmers’ movement, our farmer brothers will return to their homes, their villages, their fields after a year.

 The farmers of the country have taught the nation that an honest fight for rights always achieves its goal,” the national convenor of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) said in a tweet in Hindi.

“Congratulations to the whole country on this victory of democracy,” Kejriwal said. Amid celebrations over the success of their year-long siege at Singhu, Tikri and Ghazipur borders of Delhi, the farmer protesters on Thursday began preparations to return home.
