Swara Bhasker takes a subtle dig at Akshay Kumar and Ajay Devgn’s tweets on the farmer’s protest

The farmer’s protest in India is not one to stop anytime soon. The farmers are trying to show logic to the government and trying to make them repeal a recent bill that they passed in the parliament. However, the government isn’t backing down and neither are the farmers. While all this has been happening, Bollywood celebs haven’t been far behind. While many have stood up for what’s right, and many have chosen to keep quiet. Swara Bhasker, who’s always vocal about political issues, spoke up recently about international celebs like Great Thunberg and Rihanna showing their support for the farmer’s protest. Celebs like Akshay Kumar and Ajay Devgn tweeted their support for the government’s decision.

After Rihanna and Greta’s posts, a huge amount of people applauded the move. However, there was a chunk of the population who weren’t quite happy and posted saying the international celebs shouldn’t talk about India’s internal matters. Talking to SpotboyE about the whole matter Swara Bhasker took a subtle dig at Indian celebs who always tweet about issues happening abroad, while when international celebs are posting about Indian problems, they’re saying that it’s India’s internal matter.

Swara said while talking to SpotboyE, “We first need to address the issue of what is an internal issue? Is injustice in any part of the world an internal issue? Because if it is, then we should not discuss anything except what happens within the boundaries of our own countries, states, cities and mohallas. We can’t be that self-centred. When George Floyd was murdered and the black-lives-matter movement happened, our celebrities were regularly tweeting on it. Our government regularly issues statements on happenings around the world, the most recent being the coup in Myanmar. How come when our government comments on global issues we don’t think of internal matters? I think this is an era of technology and communication. All information is accessible to everyone at all times. People everywhere know what’s happening around the world and they express that opinion. And that’s the way it should be. What is wrong with that? I think the farmers’ protest has become such a large global issue because of the way our government has responded to it. If you notice, a lot of international celebrities are talking about the internet blackout and the crackdown on farmers and the militarization of Delhi borders. They are not commenting on the Farm Laws, per se. They are commenting on the way the farmers are being treated, and I don’t understand why that’s a problem.”

Well, Swara you nailed it perfectly. Let’s wait and watch whether other celebs who had posted their support during the black lives matter movement end up coming forward now and accepting that the farmer’s protest is also a matter which people from all over the world can comment on.
