Calling him the spirit of ‘Kisan Andolan’, Sukhbir said people must learn from him. “He is a true inspiration of selfless service,” he added.

The SAD president said he came to know about the unique protest of Baba Labh Singh when he saw his video during the ongoing Parliament session.

He said Baba’s protest has inspired thousands to join the ‘Kisan Andolan’ and he has become a symbol of the peaceful struggle for the repeal of three agricultural laws.
