Parcel: JSON5: invalid character '\'

Question

On trying to build a react app using tailwind and postcss, it throws me this error.

my style.css is

@tailwind base;
@tailwind components;
@tailwind utilities;

I have not been able to debug this issue, I tried using different node versions but I can not change any package versions since this a course I'm doing and I have to follow their package.json, any idea what I can do here?

Here's my repository link and the issue I have created on parcel github page.
