Sonam Kapoor expressed solidarity with the protesting farmers by sharing an Instagram post, in which she called them ‘founders of human civilisation’. Priyanka Chopra said that their ‘fears need to be allayed’.
Actors Priyanka Chopra and Sonam Kapoor have come out in support of protesting farmers. Farmers across the country have been staging a massive protest against the government’s new agriculture laws, which they fear will leave them at the mercy of big corporations.
“Our farmers are India’s Food Soldiers. Their fears need to be allayed. Their hopes need to be met. As a thriving democracy, we must ensure that this crisis is resolved sooner than later,” Priyanka wrote on Twitter.
Many other celebrities have also come to support the farmers. Actor-singer Diljit Dosanjh joined the protest at the Delhi border on Saturday and appealed to the government, saying, “We have only one request from the Centre... please fulfil the demands of our farmers. Everyone is sitting here peacefully and the entire country is with farmers. This agitation is about farmers. Things are twisted on Twitter but the truth is that farmers are protesting peacefully, nobody is talking about bloodshed here.”
“No farmers = Barren land! Our land is a Blessed one, so should be OUR Farmers’ lives !!!! Requesting the government to understand their issues and favor them,” actor Gauahar Khan wrote on Twitter.
