Sharing Diljit Dosanjh’s tweet where he spoke about how India is a country where all religions are respected, Priyanka Chopra took to her Twitter handle and wrote, “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 crises is resolved sooner than later.”

Whereas Sonam Kapoor took to her Instagram handle and sharing several pictures of the agitating farmers, she quoted Daniel Webster, ” “When tillage begins, other arts follow. The farmers, therefore, are the founders of human civilization.”
