Chaudhary Charan Singh Birth Anniversary: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday paid tribute to Chaudhary Charan Singh on his birth anniversary. Born in 1902 in Uttar Pradesh's Meerut, his birth anniversary is marked as Kisan Diwas or National Farmers' Day on December 23. Chaudhary Charan Singh championed the farmers' cause and is credited with shaping several farmer-friendly policies. "Humble tribute to former prime minister Chaudhary Charan Singh ji on his birth anniversary. He remained devoted to the development of villages and farmers throughout his life...," PM Modi tweeted.
Union Home Minister Amit Shah in his tribute to former Chaudhary Charan Singh said, his devotion for the welfare of farmers will always guide everyone.
On farmers day, Union Defence Minister Rajnath Singh wished the farmers. "Today, on the occasion of Farmers' Day, I greet all the food givers of the country. They have given India food security. Some farmers are agitated about the agricultural laws. The government is talking to them with full sensitivity. I hope that they will withdraw their movement soon," Rajnath Singh tweeted.
Even after several rounds of talks with the government, farmers have been protesting on the borders of Delhi since November 26, against the three newly enacted farm laws including Farmers' Produce Trade and Commerce (Promotion and Facilitation) Act, 2020, the Farmers (Empowerment and Protection) Agreement on Price Assurance and Farm Services Act, 2020, and the Essential Commodities (Amendment) Act, 2020.
