The ongoing farmer protests against the Government's farm laws have left the celebrities of the film industry divided. Among those who stood on the Centre's side has been Ranvir Shorey, who has been vocal with his opinions on Twitter. In the latest, he referred to Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s recent use of the term ‘Andolanjeevis’, those springing up at every protest and damaging the cause, and referred to the group of people fo putting hurdles in the country’s growth.
Ranvir Shorey on India’s hurdles due to ‘Andolanjeevis’
Ranvir Shorey tweeted on Wednesday to express his support to Prime Minister Narendra Modi about India’s chances to make a ‘special place’ in the post COVID-19 world. The Angrezi Medium star, however, felt that the 'Andolanjeevis’ were the 'problem.'
He accused them of not caring about the crores of Indian families who felt could benefit from a ‘prosperous New India’. Seemingly continuing his attack on Congress Member of Parliament Rahul Gandhi, he stated that the group cared only about ‘one family and its Pappu Prince.’
In another tweet, Ranvir urged netizens to reach out and pray for the farmer brothers & sisters so that they do not ‘fall prey’ to the ‘designs of Andolanjeevis’ in ‘subverting’ the democratic process for their ‘narrow and selfish ends.’
He continued that the citizens should live with the Farm Laws till the end of PM Modi’s second tenure till 2024, and suggested that they could then vote the government out if its benefits would not be seen.
With India sending its vaccines to numerous nations, he also believed that the country was proving to be the 'answer' with its '#VaccineDiplomacy' while China remained as the ‘problem’.
Ranvir Shorey’s attacks on Congress
Ranvir Shorey had composed a song when Rihanna and Greta Thunberg had expressed solidarity with the farmers. He had termed it as a ‘conspiracy’ to make ‘Pappu’ the Prime Minister. Right from urging ‘Modi-haters’ to find another alternative instead of 'undermining the democratic process' to hitting out at Congress' '#JoinCongressSocialMedia' campaign, his comments have been making headlines.
