New Delhi, Feb 4: Delhi Police have filed a case against Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg over her tweets supporting the farmers' protest.
Popular artist Rihanna tweeted on February 2 about the farmers' protests ongoing in New Delhi for 71 days, asking "why aren't we talking about this?" A day later, young climate activist Greta Thunberg took to Twitter to extend her support to farmers in India.
A raging battle on social media ensued following these tweets that made the hashtags "India Against Propoganda" and "India Together" trend.
Reacting to the swarm of tweets in support of the farmers agitation and the cutting off of internet at Delhi's borders, the official spokesperson of Ministry of External Affairs tweeted a statement, asking the two celebrities to "ascertain the facts" before making comments.
"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 statement read.
