Farmers' protest gets international support, causes ruckus in LS; internet back at Delhi borders | Roundup

India Today  

The farmers' agitation against Centre's farm laws has gone international. Congress leader Rahul Gandhi said India's reputation in the international community has taken a "massive hit" but Union ministers and BJP leaders condemned the international figures for commenting on farmers' protest without "proper understanding of the issue". Several Bollywood celebs stand by Centre as India takes on Rihanna over support to farmers' protest After Rihanna and Greta Thunberg's viral tweets favouring farmers' protest, Bollywood superstars Akshay Kumar, Ajay Devgn and producer-director Karan Johar joined the Centre’s call to stand united against “propaganda” against India’s policies. Let us not let anyone divide us.” Suniel Shetty also came out in support of the government stand and said, “We must always take a comprehensive view of things, as there is nothing more dangerous than half truth.” Farmers welcome incoming international support The Samyukta Kisan Morcha, an umbrella body of 40 farmers' unions, acknowledged the international support pouring in for the agitating farmers saying that while it is a matter of pride that eminent global personalities are showing sensitivity towards the cause of farmers, "it is unfortunate that the Government of India is not understanding the pain". What happened at the Delhi borders today As Centre and the Opposition were engaged in a war of words over Rihanna and Greta Thunberg's tweets, Bharatiya Kisan Union leader Rakesh Tikait, in a show of strength by protesting farmers, on Wednesday addressed a massive rally and warned the government it could find it difficult to stay on in power if the new agri-marketing laws are not repealed.
