Farmer protests is a matter of concern between India and Pakistan, says UK PM Boris Johnson
Maharashtra government will investigate into the allegations that several celebrities including Bharat Ratna awardees Sachin Tendulkar and Lata Mangeshkar were forced to tweet over ongoing farmers' protest, State Home Minister Anil Deshmukh said on Monday.
Deshmukh said the investigation was ordered on a complaint by Congress, a partner in the ruling coalition, stating that there is an alleged connection with the tweets of several celebrities issued after pop sensation Rihanna, adult film star Mia Khalifa, climate activist Greta Thunberg, and other international personalities came out in support of farmers protesting on the borders of Delhi. The Congress alleged that the BJP "arm-twisted" them to tweet, calling for "unity" over farmers' protest.
