If there is no hands, then if there is zeal and passion in the heart to do something, then the work of hands can be done with feet also. This is to say of Punjab’s Divyang cyclist Jagwinder, who cast his vote by signing with his feet in Shutrana, Patiala today. For this he was also honored with a letter of appreciation.
