“There is constant stress that the bank will turn up at my doorstep and display my picture as a defaulter. Nothing can be more insulting," he said.,
Gurnam Singh, from the Bharat Kisan Union of Farmers, which represents the group, said “More than 90 percent of the farmers of Haryana are in debt”.
He said, “The land belongs to our ancestors and is like our mother so we will never sell it.  At least selling our organs would enable us to repay debt and live for a few more years and feed our families."
