“I went there to show my support to all the senior citizens, who are peacefully protesting in this biting cold. It is heartbreaking to see the conditions in which they are living. Tractors have become their new home, but they are not complaining. They are so happy and cheerful. I salute their spirit. It was a humbling experience for me,” Mandeep Singh said as quoted by Times of India.

However, today he will be proud of his sons for coming forward and supporting fellow farmers. Mandeep Singh looked hopeful that the government soon fulfill their demands in order to bring things down to a subtle position.
“If my father would have been alive, he would have also joined the protest. He must be a proud father because his sons did their bit. I have never experienced anything like that in my entire life. It was soul satisfactory. It has moved me. I hope the government will listen to their demand, and all of them will be back to their loved ones,” he concluded. he further said.
