The international chorus in support of the protesting farmers is gaining steam. After pop icon Rihanna and teen climate activist Greta Thunberg, the niece of US vice president Kamala Harris on Wednesday tweeted her support.
Meena Harris tweeted that "the most populous democracy is under assault".
Meena Harris, who is a lawyer by profession, expressed concerns over the ongoing protests by the farmers in India and the govt crackdown.
Drawing parallels between the storming of the US Capitol and the crackdown on the protesting farmers, Harris said "militant nationalism is just as potent a force in US politics as it is in India or any place else."
