Elderly farmer at Ghazipur pledges to protest till law repeal
97-year-old ready to take a bullet but will not let any propaganda stop the movement
Unlike his two sons, Ilam Singh has never been in the army. Now, at the age of 97, he is ready to take a bullet.
“Pehli goli hum khayenge, lekin ab yeh andolan nahin rukega agar krishi kanoon wapas nahin liya (I shall take the first bullet, but this movement will not stop until the farm laws have been repealed),” the Jat farmer from Muzaffarnagar told reporters at the Ghazipur protest site at 2am on Friday.
