Over the last few days, the protest of farmers has intensified. Thousands of farmers are marching towards Delhi to protest against the recently passed farm laws.

The farmers were bombarded with lathi-charge and tear gas in order to stall their March and disallow them to enter the capital. Thousands of farmers were seen braving water cannons and tackling barricades set up by the central government. Several Bollywood celebs have come out in support of the farmers and reacted on the ongoing protest.

Taapsee Pannu, Swara Bhasker, Diljit Dosanjh and several other celebs shared their views on the protests via their social media posts.

Richa Chadha tweeted, “For those who are wondering what the farmers are protesting, read. India has been facing an agrarian crisis for the past 2 decades, 12000 farmers commit suicide every year, that’s over 30/day! And yet, this is the biggest protest by people who put food on our plates. Next time you shop for vegetables, (which u will soon irrespective of where u live or how much meat/fish u eat), don’t wonder why the prices for vegetables are constantly rising. India is still an agrarian economy. It’s not just a ‘farmer’s issue’. Everything is connected.”
