Hindustan Times

When one user questioned the reason behind his post, Guru shared that he belongs to the "farmer family” which is why he is standing with the farmer community and requesting the Indian government. In another post, Guru shared that he is just urging the government to give a chance to the farmers to share their needs and then decide what they want to do.
