Thank you Rihanna. In an era where political leadership is lacking we are grateful for others stepping forward," she wrote along with sharing a screenshot of Rihanna's tweet.Author and niece of US Vice President Kamala Harris, Meena also showed her support on social media towards the agitating farmers as well.She wrote on Twitter, "It's no coincidence that the world's oldest democracy was attacked not even a month ago, and as we speak, the most populous democracy is under assault.""This is related. We ALL should be outraged by India's internet shutdowns and paramilitary violence against farmer protesters," she added.Harris wrote further, "Militant nationalism is just as potent a force in US politics as it is in India or anyplace else. It can only be stopped if people wake up to the reality that FASCIST DICTATORS aren't going anywhere."US House Representative Jim Costa also called the ongoing unrest as troubling and added that the situation is being closely monitored."The unfolding events in India are troubling. As a member of the Foreign Affairs Committee, I am closely monitoring the situation.
