Union agriculture minister Narendra Singh Tomar has said the government has no plan to bring back the recently repealed farm laws, and urged farmers to be wary of ‘confusion’ being created by the Congress on this issue.
Tomar had faced flak after he reportedly contradicted Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s apology while repealing the farm laws. It prompted former Congress president Rahul Gandhi to tweet
देश के कृषि मंत्री ने मोदी जी की माफ़ी का अपमान किया है- ये बेहद निंदनीय है।
अगर फिर से कृषि विरोधी कदम आगे बढ़ाए तो फिर से अन्नदाता सत्याग्रह होगा-
पहले भी अहंकार को हराया था, फिर हरायेंगे!#FarmersProtest

Tomar, in a statement, said Prime Minister Narendra Modi had decided to withdraw agriculture reform laws to protect the interest of farmers.
“The government has no plan to bring the (repealed) agriculture laws again. …Congress is indulging in a negative work of spreading confusion to cover up its failures,” Tomar said and asked farmers to beware of this.
