Yuvraj Singh wishes resolution of farmers' agitation on birthday
Former India all-rounder Yuvraj Singh turned 39 but instead of celebrating his birthday this year, he hoped for “swift resolution”
Former India all-rounder Yuvraj Singh on Saturday turned 39 but instead of celebrating his birthday this year, he hoped for “swift resolution” to the ongoing farmers’ issues through dialogue.
Yuvraj also urged people to take necessary precautions against coronavirus as the country continues its fight against the pandemic.
"Birthdays are an opportunity to fulfil a wish or desire and this birthday rather than celebrating I only wish and pray for a swift resolution of the ongoing talks between our farmers and our government," Yuvraj said in a Twitter post.
"Undoubtedly, farmers are the lifeblood of the nation and I truly believe that there is no problem which cannot be resolved through peaceful dialogue," he added.
The 2011 World Cup-winning star also distanced himself from his father Yograj Singh's unsavoury comments made earlier this week during a protest rally.
"I also urge everyone to continue taking precautions to fight against Covid-19. The pandemic is not over yet and we need to continue to be careful to defeat the virus completely," he said and ended the post with ''Jai Jawan! Jai Kisan! Jai Hind!''
