The ongoing farmer's agitation against the three controversial farm laws enacted by the Centre in September last year after international pop star Rihanna extended support to the protest. After comments made by Rihanna and Thunberg, the Ministry of External Affairs issued a statement called it "unfortunate". The MEA in a statement said, ", it is unfortunate to see vested interest groups trying to enforce their agenda on these protests, and derail them. This was egregiously witnessed on January 26, India's Republic Day."

Farmers, especially from Punjab and Haryana, have been protesting against the farm laws since November 26. They are demanding the complete rollback of the laws.  However, the Centre offered only to amend the laws. Till now, 11 rounds of talks have taken place between the Central government and the farmers' representatives.
