Rihanna took to Twitter on Tuesday to share a news story by CNN on the internet shutdown in a few local districts of Delhi’s neighboring state Haryana after protestors broke blockades to enter New Delhi and conflicted with police in a few pieces of the public capital during the January 26 ‘tractor rally’ protest organised by farmers. The protestors likewise entered the famous Mughal Era monument Red Fort and unfurled their flags from its ramparts.
