A 65-year-old Sikh priest Baba Ram Singh, part of the farmers' protest, died by suicide at the Singhu border protest site on Wednesday. "I feel the pain of farmers fighting to ensure their rights... To support farmers, some have returned their awards to the government. I have decided to sacrifice myself," read the suicide note he left. Opposition parties have cornered the govt over the priest's death as the farmers' movement in the Delhi border areas enters its 22nd-day #priest #farmers #gonews
