Raghav Chadha says Centre must shun its ego and agree to farmers' demands

The Central Government must shun its ego and agree to the demands of the farmers that are reasonable and the farm laws must be repealed with immediate effect, said Raghav Chadha, Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader.

"Centre must let go of this ego and agree to all demands of farmers. No resolution seems to be in sight. The government must repeal three black laws with immediate effect," said Chadha.

"Modi government seems to be in this ego clash with farmers. The demands of Indian farmers are reasonable," he added.


Speaking about the new strain of coronavirus identified in southeast England, Chadha said that we must learn from our past experiences and take strict precautionary measures.

"Delhi is one state that witnessed the repercussions and had to face the brunt of unchecked international travelers and flights in the early days of COVID-19. Therefore, the spread of the virus initially in Delhi was the worst. We must learn from our past experiences," said Chadha.

It took an extremely exceptional display of administrative might and political will from Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal along with the people of Delhi to fight the virus, he added.

"We must ban all flights, whether commercial or passenger coming in from UK with immediate effect. This plea was made by CM Kejriwal as well. A delay of even a day can cost us heavily".

Canada’s Economy Contracts in Fourth Quarter of 2025 as Annual Growth Slows

Canada’s economy recorded a contraction in the final three months of 2025, defying earlier expectations of stable growth, according to new data released by Statistics Canada on Friday. The federal agency reported that real gross domestic product declined at an annualized rate of 0.6 per cent in the October to December quarter. Economists had anticipated little to no change during that period. The slowdown was attributed in part to weaker residential investment and lower inventory rebuilding by manufacturers. Statistics Canada said companies met demand by drawing down existing inventories ins

Delhi court acquits Arvind Kejriwal and Manish Sisodia in excise policy case, CBI to appeal

A Delhi trial court has acquitted former Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal and former deputy chief minister Manish Sisodia in the Delhi excise policy case, ruling that the prosecution failed to establish the charges beyond reasonable doubt. In its order, the court said the Central Bureau of Investigation did not present sufficient evidence to substantiate allegations linked to the now-scrapped liquor policy. The judge observed that serious criminal charges require strong and credible proof and cannot be based on assumptions. The case centred on alleged irregularities in the formulation and
