After global pop star Rihanna, “why aren’t we talking about this?! #FarmersProtest”, many international celebrities joined in and tweeted about the protests.

Following tweets by international personalities, the Ministry of External Affairs issued a statement that read, “Before rushing to comment on such matters, we would urge that the facts be ascertained, and a proper understanding of the issues at hand be undertaken. The temptation of sensationalist social media hashtags and comments, especially when resorted to by celebrities and others, is neither accurate nor responsible.”

Celebrities like Ajay Devgn, Akshay Kumar and Suniel Shetty among others echoed MEA’s statement.
