The amount of solidarity we've seen among all the artists and sportspersons from Punjab and Haryana is absolutely praiseworthy. Everyone is standing with the farmers and protesting against the farm laws until and unless the government actually listens to them and their qualms about the new farm laws.

The Olympic winning boxer took part in the protest at Delhi's Singhu border, where Diljit was also present yesterday and promised to return one of the biggest honour bestowed upon him if the laws weren't repealed.

Promising to return India's highest sporting honour, he said at the protest, "If the government doesn't withdraw the black laws, I will return my Rajiv Gandhi Khel Ratna Award."

It'll happen soon.

Now Boxer Vijender Singh has threatened to return his Khel Ratna.

At this rate, Modi govt will soon enter Guiness Book for the highest number of awards collected.
