Indian farmers’ are protesting against three farm laws that were passed by the Parliament of India in September 2020. Farmer unions and their representatives have demanded that the laws be repealed and they will not accept anything short of it. To support the farmers the entire Pollywood and several foreign celebrities are supporting the Indian farmers’ protest. A few Bollywood celebrities namely Taapsee Pannu, Manav Kaul, Sayani Gupta, and more in the row have lent their support to the farmers. But now a new name has emerged in the support and that is of Sonakshi Sinha. The actress took to her Instagram stories and shared a string of her views on the protests. She wrote, “The voices raised are about the violation of human rights, suppressions of free internet and expression, state propaganda, hate speech and abuse of power. Journalists are being harassed. The Internet has been banned. Protesters are being vilified through state and media propaganda. Hate speech (desh ke gaddaro ko, goli maro sardaro ko resurfaced) is flourishing. THAT is the issue that’s taken global centre stage.” She further added, “To reiterate, news tonight will try to paint a picture that ‘outside forces’ are trying to meddle in the internal functioning of our country. Please don’t give in to that narrative. It’s human, standing up for other humans. THAT’S the narrative.”Well, on the other side several Bollywood A-lister stars have come forward and have stood united against external forces’ propaganda. Apart from Akshay Kumar, Sunil Shetty, Karan Johar, Lata Mangeshkar, Ekta Kapoor, sports personalities like Virat Kohli, Sachin Tendulkar have also shared the message of ‘India together’ and requested their fans to stand united as a nation.
