Rao shared an article of NDTV, "No permission for farmer Mahapanchayat in UP's Shamli," in the tweet.
There is a growing anger on Twitter after Rihanna and Greta Thunberg also tweeted in solidarity with farmers protesting around the borders of Delhi.
Meanwhile, the Supreme court has put the implementation of laws on hold while the union government has also offered to put the laws in abeyance for 18 months. The farmers had rejected this offer because they wanted repeal of laws.
Now the police have
resorted to cementing metal spikes on the grounds, barbed wires on the walls
and barricading to stop the entry of new farmers and it has also been learnt
that some members of the Press were not allowed to enter the protest site.
