Actress Shruti Seth, Dia Mirza were among the other celebrities who shared their thoughts on the news. Shruti tweeted, ‘So many lives lost. Such a heavy price. But proud of the farmers for holding their ground, peacefully! Jai Kisaan. Jai Hind’.
PM Modi apologised, saying the administration failed to persuade a portion of farmers about farm regulations. During this month’s Parliament session, he declared, the three problematic legislation would be eliminated. He also advised farmers to return home to their families and start all over again.

The three agriculture legislation were enacted by Parliament in September last year. They had initially appeared in June as three Ordinances, before being adopted by Parliament by voice vote during the Monsoon Session. Protests against these agricultural restrictions have been going on for more than a year. Thousands of farmers have set up camp in Delhi’s border areas, calling for the restrictions to be repealed.
