Just an hour ago, singer Mika Singh took to his social media accounts to share how the protestors provided the on-duty police with Langar. Many NGOs have been working to provide the protesting farmers with food supplies, and with their help even the police officers got a taste of farmers’ unbridled kindness in the form of steaming plates of delicious Langar amid the winter chill.

Sharing pictures of the same, Mika wrote, “Good morning Look at how these beautiful farmers are protesting peacefully. This is also the 1st time that those protesting are providing Langar to the police. That’s called the Punjabi’s. I salute @unitedsikhs @letshelpdivinetouch and @khalsaaid_india @khalsa_aid for meeting the farmers basic needs. I’m sure that the Govt will take serious action and support our farmers. I always stand with our farmers, because of whom we have food to eat.”
