Swedish environmental activist Greta Thunberg is the latest to extend support to farmers' protest at the borders of Delhi. Late on Tuesday, Thunberg tweeted about the protest along with an article that talks about internet cut at the protest sites.

"We stand in solidarity with the #FarmersProtest in India," the teen activist said in her tweet.

 

Apart from Thunberg, UK Member of Parliament Claudia Webbe also expressed solidarity with the Indian farmers.

"Solidarity to the Indian Farmers. Thank you Rihanna. In an era where political leadership is lacking we are grateful for others stepping forward," she wrote along with sharing a screenshot of Rihanna's tweet.

These tweets came after international pop icon Rihanna shared a news article highlighting the Centre's crackdown on the farmers by cutting off internet services in many regions.

"Why aren't we talking about this?!" tweeted Rihanna along with the hashtag #FarmersProtest.

Kangana Ranaut, who regularly tweets about the events happening in the country, quickly lashed out at Rihanna. "No one is talking about it because they are not farmers, they are terrorists who are trying to divide India..." Ranaut told her 3 million followers on Twitter.

 

The farmers' protest has been going on since November 26 last year. After several rounds of negotiations failed to end the impasse over three central farm laws, the farmer unions backing the stir planned to intensify their stir.

They took out a tractor rally in New Delhi on Republic Day which turned violent. Many protesters and policemen on duty were injured. The cops responded by shutting down the internet, digging ditches, driving nails into roads and topping barricades with razor wire to prevent farmers from entering the capital again.

Meanwhile, the Haryana government has extended the suspension of mobile internet services in several districts of the state till 5 pm on February 3, reports news agency ANI.

Farmers have been protesting against the three newly enacted farm laws: Farmers' Produce Trade and Commerce (Promotion and Facilitation) Act, 2020; the Farmers Empowerment and Protection) Agreement on Price Assurance and farm Services Act 2020 and the Essential Commodities (Amendment) Act, 2020.

If only Modi had discussed these farm laws with the farmers of India before forcing them by using a shady 'Voice' vote' in the parliament by taking advantage of the Pandemic .......the present situation could've been avoided....it's too late now. No matter how much the ruling party supporters can shrug if off as 'nothing' ......this has now exposed the true intentions of the bjp govt

Indeed. In days prior, the PM would have met the CM and made a photoshoot with the farmers. Even if he has to maintain his stance on the "pandemic", he can maintain social distancing and wear masks and wash his hands with an entire bottle of sanitizer

Do you think govt didn't discuss these laws with farmer unions? Farmers union asked for these laws. Now they are all turning under political influence.  If you don't understand why these protests are happening then what can anyone say. This protest isn't actually antifarm bill but anti-Modi. The asked for Liberalization of farmers from mandi, from arthiyas, and govt did this.

Yes, there are 22 basic identified crops. So all farmers must grow only these 22 crops so that they get "minimum wages" ? What about other farmers who are 94%?

Why do you think balance is not there? Was MSP's stopped? Fertilizer subsidies taken away? Free  electricity stopped?Now 6k is now being transferred directly to the farmers which was not there earlier. What false promises are you talking about?  These laws were there even in Congress manifestos.

Modi even in 2011 asked for Agri reforms, why did people elect him if there is so much opposition?

Its funny that our resident opposer of farm laws have conspicuously ignored the posts when they find it difficult to reply when questioned only on the farm laws.

When questioned why this law is evil, and why we cant have states who has the ability to not implement this law in states like Punjab where there is more opposition, I dont see a rationale answer from these folks.

This law is bad because Mudi and thkalu are bad

This law is bad because Mudi wants to fleece poor farmers and give it to Ambani

This law is bad because Adani and Ambani is Mudi's corporate friends. 

This law is bad because Farmers have trust issue with Mudi 

This law is bad because there is communication failure from the government and they hurriedly passed the law.

This law is bad because MSP will be scrapped in future 

this law is bad because Mudi wants to corporatise the farming and wants to give the farmer's land to Ambanis and Adanis 

This law is bad because Godi media is supporting Mudi which is bad

This law is bad because Mudi is dictator 

This law is bad because poor farmers who earn 5K per month are protesting

 

This is not the problem with this forum, but I see the same reasoning with everyone who is opposing the law in other social media as well. No one wants to debate the law without some conspiracy theories on what could happen if this law comes into effect. No rationale, no dicusssion, it is just the hate, hate towards democratically elected leader. They used Dalit card with Rohit Vemula, they used Muslim card with CAA and now they are using farmers card with farm law. 

 

Sometimes I wonder if congress is our best bet to bring in reforms. This reforms was in 2019 congress manifesto, and if the congress had come to power, they'd passed this law with much fanfare and this would've been regarded as game changer. Amrinder singh would've supported this so as other khaistanis in Kaneda. All the libs and psedos would've written articles supporting the farm reforms and how it benefits the farmers. BJP's MPs would have opposed this in parliament giving one or two lengthy speeches, and at the most one day protests from Youth BJP. But no street protests, no attack on red fort, no highway blockage, no protests industry, no riots, no Rianna, greta opposing this. Heck, even with so much corruption in UPA government, they needed Anna and Kejriwal to organise protests.

True,. Congress is better for stabilized India. Any other govt, ecosystem wouldn't let them function by creating unrest.

Well, there are some serious issues which are so pro-corporate...Farmers don't trust the govt anymore, that's why they are asking for a Repeal. 

 

If farmers dont trust the govt, why they voted them to power, and why cant they wait till next government to reverse this law? Thats what democracy is, instead of "I dont trust them, so I go on rioting".

These celebrities usually disappear after their initial tweet and leave their target audience to banter back and forth. You'd be hard pressed to find any non-desis in the comment section.

The more you talk against Modi, stronger he becomes. He is a polarizing figure.
