Farmers from Punjab, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh and Rajasthan have been protesting relentlessly at several Delhi borders since November demanding the repeal of the Centre’s major reforms to the three farm laws which were enacted in September 2020.
As of now, the Internet is shut at Delhi borders, electric and water supplies have been cut. Borders are sealed with barricading and heavy force deployment. Media and public entry is restricted at Delhi borders.
Ministry of External Affairs has slammed Rihanna’s and Greta Thunberg’s tweets via issuing a statement. The statement mentions, “It is unfortunate to see vested interest groups trying to enforce their agenda on these protests, and derail them.”
