"We have won half the battle but there is still some time for us to return home triumphant," said Jagar Singh from Patiala
He plays iktara at the Singhu border, where he has been camping at regular intervals since the start of the protest against the three agri laws. With his songs, Jagar Singh, 75, is back at the site, motivating the protesters to continue their struggle.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday announced a rollback of the three farm laws at the centre of protests by farmers for the past year.
On his fourth visit to the Singhu border, the epicentre of farmers' protest, Mr Singh, a resident of Patiala district in Punjab, seems happy and in a celebratory mood.
"We have won half the battle but there is still some time for us to return home triumphant. We want the government to bring in a legislation to guarantee the minimum support price (MSP)," he said.
