After Diljit Dosanjh, Priyanka Chopra, Preity Zinta, Riteish Deshmukh, Sonam K Ahuja support farmers

Actors Sonam Kapoor and Priyanka Chopra are among the growing list of celebrities from Bollywood who have extended their support to farmers protesting against the Centre’s new farm laws. Farmers have called for a ‘Bharat Bandh’ on Tuesday, warning that they will intensify their agitation and block more roads leading to the national capital if the government did not accept their demands.

Celebrities such as Diljit Dosanjh, Harbhajan Mann, Jasbir Jassi, Riteish Deshmukh, director Hansal Mehta and others have already declared their support to farmers.

In a tweet in reply to Dosanjh’s message of unity from the protest site, Chopra said their concerns should be addressed “sooner than later”.

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. https://t.co/PDOD0AIeFv
