'Irresponsible act of commenting without information'

New Delhi, dated 3 February 2021, Wednesday

Echoes of the ongoing peasant movement in the country are being felt abroad. Pop star Rihanna and former adult star Mia Khalifa, as well as environmentalist Greta Thunberg and Meena Harris, niece of American Vice President Kamala Harris, have expressed support for the peasant movement.

However, the Indian government has since taken immediate action, calling the comments made by celebrities an irresponsible act.

"After much deliberation, the Indian Parliament has enacted new laws relating to the agricultural sector, which will provide an alternative to farmers, but some elements have tried to garner international support against India," the foreign ministry said in a statement. It is important to know what it is and understand the issue properly.
