Karan Johar wrote, "We live in turbulent times and the need of the hour is prudence and patience at every turn. Let us together, make every effort we can to find solutions that work for everyone—our farmers are the backbone of India. Let us not let anyone divide us. "

The Ministry of External Affairs, in its statement, wrote, "Parliament of India, after a full debate and discussion, passed reformist legislation relating to the agricultural sector. These reforms give expanded market access and provided greater flexibility to farmers. They also pave the way for economically and ecologically sustainable farming."

The statement further read, "A very small section of farmers in parts of India have some reservations about these reforms. Respecting the sentiments of the protesters, the Government of India has initiated a series of talks with their representatives. Union ministers have been part of the negotiations, and eleven rounds of talks have already been held."

Last night, international pop sensation, Rihanna, tweeted in favour of the farmers' protest. After her, teen climate activist Greta Thunberg also extended support along with other international celebrities and activists. In the statement, MEA added, "Some of these vested groups have also tried to mobilise international support against India."

The elaborate statement also stated, "Before rushing to comment on such matters, we would urge that the facts be ascertained , a proper understanding of the issues at hand be undertaken. The temptation of sensationalist social media hashtags and comments, especially when resorted to by celebrities and others, is neither accurate nor responsible."
