Baljinder Singh, former District Science Supervisor, said he will be going with his daughters to support farmers in their protest. He had earlier gone a week ago and spent two days at Singhu and Tikri borders.

He will now leave for Delhi on December 25 and will be staying for a night with his family. Baljinder said that he also belongs to a farmer family and could very well understand the pain and concerns. He said that it was beyond politics or any political party, but it was for the farmers and every normal person.

Singh said that his daughters Navroz Kaur (19) and Komalpreet (15) asked him to go there and support the farmers. He said that his daughters have motivated him to go and show solidarity with the farmers. “It is because of their pursuance that I visited the border, now again, I will take them along just because they insisted and told me that even they wanted to see the situation there,” Singh added.

“My daughters have seen children and elderly going there, which is why they also wished to go there. Apart from protest, I have seen an amalgamation of every culture. There is no discrimination among people there. Children belonging to poor families in Delhi have been coming and eating langar which the farmers have organised,” he said.

Singh also shared that he had never witnessed something like this in his life and the experience was surreal.
