5. Navjot Singh Sidhu

Sidhu Pajji can’t really afford to not talk about the protest when it is precisely his opposition against which farmers are protesting besides the majority of farmers protesting are of his own community. Sidhu Shared a Lallantop’s video saying, “Triumph of the Punjabi Spirit…
Kisan Morcha is Democratic, Pristine, and Non-violent… Any Attempts by agencies to foil it – Will fail… Punjabiyat is our shield, Universal Brotherhood our philosophy and driving force!”
