Sitting on a wheelchair, 44-year-old Harvinder Singh from Punjab s Jalandhar interacts with fellow farmers camping at Delhi s Singhu border to protest against the Centre s new agri laws.
His physical limitations due to polio have rendered him on a wheelchair for decades but that has not deterred him from joining the over a month-long agitation, leaving behind his ailing mother at his native village. I may have lost all hopes of recovery from polio but I have not lost hope for a positive outcome from this agitation, he says.
Singh, who has been camping at the border for a month now, said he has been battling polio since childhood and has lost all hopes of recovery but this agitation is a ray of hope for him.
