New Delhi: With farmers’ protesting at the Singhu border against three farm laws introduced by the Centre, a farmer from Odisha protested in a unique manner by shaving off his head and beard to register his dissent over the government’s new policies.
According to an IANS report, Parthasarthy Jena from Odisha, as a mark of protest, tonsured his head at Delhi’s Singhu Border. As per Indian traditions, people shave off the hair and beard in case of death of the head of a family.
“The government has turned deaf to our voices. It seems like they are dead and hence, I am shaving my head and beard,” Jena was quoted as saying by the agency.

The farmer also said that in order to send a strong message to the Centre, he did so and the protests would continue until the agricultural laws are taken back by the Centre.

While appealing the farmers’ leaders across other borders like Ghazipur to end their day-long hunger strike, they also prayed for the welfare of the all (Sarbanth Bhala) and for the success of their motive by singing Gurbani, the agency report said.
