Hollywood singer Mary Millben supports farm laws, says, 'have faith in PM Modi's vision'

Hollywood actress-singer Mary Millben expressed her support for India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi and for India’s farmers in a public statement. Millben's tweet comes in the backdrop of a row over pop sensation Rihanna and climate activist Greta Thunberg commenting on the ongoing farmers' protest on the outskirts of the national capital Delhi. “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. “I have faith in @PMOIndia @narendramodi. We must always take care of those who work the land (#farmers) and protect the land (soldiers). Now is the time for ambassadors of #peace to rise.” Full statement enclosed. #IndiaStandsTogether #IndiaTogether #narendramodi #india #unity pic.twitter.com/xx4EyXQ5X3 — Mary Millben (@MaryMillben) February 4, 2021 Mary is one of the world’s new celebrated voices having performed for three consecutive U.S. Presidents (President George W.

Rohit Sharma says India 'stronger when united', hopes for fix in farmer-Centre deadlock MEA cautions foreign celebrities In a strongly-worded statement, the MEA made it clear that the farm reforms were enacted by the Parliament after a full debate and discussion. Maintaining that only a very small section of farmers have reservations about these laws, it mentioned that the Centre has not only conducted 11 rounds of talks with farm unions but also offered to keep the implementation of the laws on hold. The MEA lamented that "vested groups" were trying to derail the protests despite this scenario. To buttress its point, it highlighted the violence that took place in the national capital during the farmers' tractor rally. Moreover, the Ministry linked the desecration of Mahatma Gandhi statues in different parts of the world to the instigation by fringe elements seeking to mobilize international support against India. Thereafter, it called upon the foreign entities and individuals to ascertain the facts before "rushing to comment" on such matters. Yuvraj Singh asks India to unite to solve farmer crisis; SRH's Sandeep Sharma disputes MEA "We would like to emphasize that these protests must be seen in the context of India's democratic ethos and polity, and the efforts of the government and the concerned farmer groups to resolve the impasse," the statement said.
