A host of international celebrities, politicians and sport personalities have over the past two days expressed their solidarity with the farmers protesting at Delhi's borders.
Instead of showing the BJP boast about Budget 2021, TV channels chose to defend the ‘military zone’ at Delhi borders, and attack Rahul Gandhi and Rihanna.
Home Minister Amit Shah's comments are the latest by the Modi govt in response to global celebrities tweeting on farmer protests. MEA said the tweets were not accurate or responsible.
Akshay Kumar, Karan Johar, Ajay Devgn and Suniel Shetty said Wednesday that citizens should focus on the government's efforts to resolve the farmers' crisis, and not on 'half-truths.'
The MEA's reaction comes after many international celebrities including pop singer Rihanna and climate activist Greta Thunberg tweeted about the farmers' protest in India.
The last time this matter flared up was when Delhi Chief Minister Rekha Gupta, in a very similar directive in April, called for the relocation of stray dogs in the capital.
Finance ministry says the proposed revamp will focus on structural reforms, rate rationalisation & ease of living, & will be deliberated upon in the coming weeks.
The project is meant to be a ‘protective shield that will keep expanding’, the PM said. It is on the lines of the ‘Golden Dome’ announced by Trump, it is learnt.
Now that both IAF and PAF have made formal claims of having shot down the other’s aircraft in the 87-hour war in May, we can ask a larger question: do such numbers really matter?
