Soon after American pop singer Rihanna tweeted about the ongoing farmers’ protest in India, several other prominent international celebrities and activists have also extended their support to the farmer-led movement against the Centre’s contentious new farm laws. “Why aren’t we talking about this?!”, Rihanna tweeted on Tuesday, along with the hashtag ‘#FarmersProtest’.

Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg also took to Twitter to share a news story about the internet shutdowns in Delhi. “We stand in solidarity with the #FarmersProtest in India,” the teen activist tweeted.

Several other celebrities have also lent their voices to the ongoing protests and condemned the crackdown on farmers in the National Capital. Among them was US Vice President Kamala Harris’ niece, Meena Harris, who tweeted: “We ALL should be outraged by India’s internet shutdowns and paramilitary violence against farmer protesters.”

Sharing a photograph of female protesters on Instagram, American actress Amanda Cerni wrote, “The world is watching. You don’t have to be Indian or Punjabi or South Asian to understand the issue. All you have to do is care about humanity. “
YouTuber Lilly Singh has also tweeted in support of Rihanna. Retweeting the singer’s post, Singh wrote, “Yes! Thank you so much @rihanna. This is a humanity issue! #IStandWithFarmers and this narrative is TIRED.”

Several politicians in the US and the UK have also addressed the issue on social media. US House Representative Jim Costa called the unrest “troubling”, and added that the situation is being closely monitored. Meanwhile, UK MP Claudia Web also expressed her concern.
“Solidarity to the Indian Farmers. Thank you Rihanna. In an era where political leadership is lacking we are grateful for others stepping forward,” she tweeted, sharing a screenshot of Rihanna’s original tweet.
Last week, the Union Home Ministry suspended internet connectivity at three main protest sites at the capital’s borders — Singhu, Tikri and Ghazipur — creating several hurdles for protesting farmers.
Fk these fake protesters for defaming india's name.
I guess Greta thunberg has embraced Islam too
Her Muslim name is ghousia turen-baigh ;)

India got more negative publicity from Certain Indian Celebrities insulting Rihanna and Greta for their support on top of what they did from the protests. That’s what I noticed.
Rihanna and Greta have massive followings, to blatantly insult them with harsh words obviously didn’t make those fans happy.

pakistani singer ko mirchi kyo lag rahi hai ?
ISI have done a fabulous job of getting Rihanna, Greta etc on board.
The worst nightmare of the sanghi establishment is coming true. :lol:

mia is also in the line .
 
. .
not me.

Really doesn't matter though, these protesters have no support from the Indian public in general. Congress, liberalon and unke international liberandu dost can keep posting what they want on twitter.

Waiting for Miley Cyrus, Nikki Minaj and Cardi B to jump on the bandwagon.
