Washington, February 5: The farmers' protest in India has been grabbing attention not only in the country but also internationally. Personalities like Jim Costa, Rihanna, Greta Thunberg, Mia khalifa and others have expressed solidarity with the farmers in their protests. They received immense flak for their stand. However, what needs to be highlighted here is that they continue to speak in support of the farmers despite trolling and their posters being burnt.

Mia Khalifa raised her voice in support of the ongoing farmers’ protest in India on Wednesday. She was trolled mercilessly on Twitter, from brandishing her as a 'pornstar' to a 'Muslim'. However, undeterred by the criticism, she replied saying, "Confirming I have in fact regained consciousness and would like to thank you for your concern, albeit unnecessary. Still standing with the farmers, though." Greta Thunberg Reiterates Her Support to Farmers' Protest in India After Being Trolled.

Similarly, Meena Harris who was very vocal in her stand with the farmers in India said, "I won't be intimidated, and I won't be silenced.
