Ranvir Shorey on farmers protests
After calling Greta Thunberg an ‘unpadh’ (illiterate) in his song, Ranvir Shorey quipped over her deleting the tweet on ‘toolkit’, a Google document on ways to participate and support the farmers'movement. The Angrezi Medium star quipped that the teenager finally got some 'vocational training' while out of school, referring to her sabbatical from education for her activism.
In another tweet, he took a dig at her for pretending to know ‘everything about everything’, right from politics to ‘agricultural issues of a country she knows squat about.’
He also penned a message to the critics of PM Modi, accusing them of disrupting day-to-day life.
“Instead of trying to undermine the democratic process & obstruct the daily life of the common man with 365 day protests, Modi-haters should try to find a better alternative,” Ranvir tweeted. He also disagreed with the “anybody is better than Modi” argument, and stated, 'Ain’t no “anybody” ever run a country.'
In another tweet, he responded to a netizen who wrote that many farmers had also supported the laws. Ranvir termed the ongoing tussle as ‘anarchy’ as a result of the ‘Modi vs the Rest.'
Ranvir posted a new song on his views on the international support for the farmers protest.
Playing the guitar, he crooned, “Rihanna toh bahana hai, kisano ke khando se bandook chalana hai. Greta toh unpadh hai. Modi ko sharminda karke, Papppu PM banana hai.” (Rihanna is just an excuse, they want to fire off the farmers’shoulders. Greta is illiterate. They want to emnbarass Modi, and make Pappu the PM).
He also slammed the flak from netizens, who called him a ‘Sanghi’. The actor joked that he did not consider them as 'insults.'
