New Delhi, May 19 : She remembers a man who just would not leave her friend and her alone at the Singhu protest site. They would be followed everywhere. Eventually, her breaking point came. She punched him hard in the stomach. Imagine the first word that came out of his mouth - sister . I told him to get lost and go back to his hometown, says activist and research scholar Kanupriya, the first and only woman President (2018) in the history of Panjab University s Students Union in Chandigarh who has spent months at the farmers protest site at Singhu and has been instrumental in mobilising urban women from across Punjab and Chandigarh in joining the protests against the new farm laws.
