The protesters say they will not budge until the government repeals the three farm laws
SINGHU (AFP) - In an electric-blue robe, foot-high turban and wielding an antiquated sword and a walkie-talkie, Amar Singh patrols a maze of tents and tractors on a blocked highway leading into New Delhi.
Singh is among hundreds of armed men from the Sikh warrior order of Nihang, the self-appointed first line of defence in a showdown between farmers and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s government.
Tens of thousands of farmers mostly from the Sikh-dominated Punjab state have camped at three protest sites on the capital’s outskirts since November 26, when police blocked their entry into Delhi following clashes.
