Delhi: They don’t till the land, but are here to farm support

Though not a farmer like his father, Gurpreet is active in the farmers’ protest at Singhu in his own way. He exhibits his art works depicting stories of struggles and protests. “Mere paas zameen nahin hai, zameer hai (I don’t have land, but I have a conscience),” quipped 44-year-old Gurpreet near the main stage at site of the farmers’ protest at the border. He is not the only one from a generation that is no longer into farming but still fervent about the cause. Truck driver Sarabjit Singh also reached Singhu on Thursday night, while government school teacher Sukhwinder Singh has been at the protest site since November 26.
