Hollywood pop-star Rihanna on Tuesday took to Twitter and why farmers' issues are not being addressed? This created a huge uproar as many international celebrities extended their support and started slamming the Modi government. Following that the Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) released an official statement and said, "Temptation of sensationalist social media hashtags and comments, especially when resorted to by celebrities and others, is neither accurate nor responsible."
