The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP Kangana Ranaut today said she "regrets" her comment that the three farm laws -- that were at the core of the farmers' protest in 2020 -- be brought back. Speaking to reporters in her Lok Sabha constituency of Mandi in Himachal Pradesh, the actor-politician on Tuesday had said the laws - rolled back by Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government in November 2021 after massive agitations - "should be brought back... (and) farmers themselves should demand it".
"I know this will be controversial... but I feel the farm laws that were repealed should be brought back. The farmers themselves should demand it. They are a pillar of strength for the nation's development and I want to appeal to them - demand the laws back for your own good," Kangana Ranaut said.
