Barkha Dutt gets it spot on in the title of her piece & its last paragraph - And Even Rihanna -

The rest as they say, is all stodge, no meat.

Can Barkha tell us
If the pop star understands the Farm Bills passed in the Parliament of a foreign country by its democratically elected government ?

Can she name even one of the three Bills or any of the contentious issues ?

Is she aware of the number of Parliamentary Committees that have been constituted over several decades & have recommended these reforms ?

That the political parties now egging on the protests promised these very reforms in their Manifestos ?

That several of these entities had supported these pathbreaking Bills only till a few months ago ?

Or that one lakh crore (₹10,00,00,00,00,000) worth of transactions by farmers who have eagerly embraced the new opportunity have already happened on e-NAM - an electronic Agricultural market ?

Most probably not & that’s exactly the problem.
-Even Rihanna-

The blitzkrieg of misinformation is not only a disservice to farmers across the Nation but also a criminal intent towards curtailing a better livelihood & future for them.
As we have learnt too well, poverty is a powerful vote bank.

To think that a section of the elite fighting to retain privileges believe their cause will be enhanced by a foreign pop star, a porn star & a puppet adolescent only exposes a pathetic deracination with new realities.

To think the organisers believe resorting to chaos, violence & anarchy is the only way to make a grab for power & lucre…

But as we know, there is no such thing as a perfect crime.
Inadvertent finger prints, sometimes even toolkits left behind in haste, lead us to the guilty.

As we have seen before, nothing unites this country like a good fight for its honour & civilisational existence. So have no doubt we will stand up & call each one of you out.

Then -Even Rihanna- will not be able to help you hide....
