Rihanna, the fourth most followed celebrity on Twitter with over 100 million followers, on Tuesday took to the microblogging site and showed her support for the Indian farmers. Post her tweet, Swedish teen climate activist Greta Thunberg, Meena Harris, an American lawyer and niece of US Vice President Kamala Harris, actors Amanda Cerni, singers Jay Sean, Dr Zeus and former adult star Mia Khalifa voiced their support to the protesting farmers. And now American actress/singer Mary Millben has shown equal support for India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi and for India’s farmers in a public statement. Taking to Twitter, she wrote, "Today, I join hands with my Indian brothers and sisters in the call for unity.  I have faith in His



Excellency, Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision to improve the lives of Indian farmers through India’s new reforms.


Agriculture is a very important part of the world economic system.  Farmers are the backbone of any country’s ecosystem.  We must always take care of those who work the land (farmers) and those who protect the land (soldiers).  Now is the time for ambassadors of peace to rise," said Millben.


India on Wednesday reacted sharply to these tweets with several Bollywood and cricket stars and top ministers rallying around the government in its pushback. The "temptation of sensationalist social media hashtags and comments” is neither accurate nor responsible, the Ministry of External Affairs said.
