Netizens on Twitter hailed Kaur as a ‘Punjabi lioness’ and appreciated her courage for coming all the way down from Patiala to the Singhu border. One user wrote, ‘One of the most heartening part of the anti CAA as well as the farmer protests is the participation of women. They are right at the front and centre of the resistance against the government. More power to these courageous women!!!
Women Power we Rock

This is a Punjabi lioness. These are no ordinary people. If they resolve, they will overturn the system.
