After international pop star Rihanna showed her support to the protests, many international personalities have come forward in support of on going farmers protests in Delhi.

Rihanna extended her support to farmers protesting on the borders of India's capital against the three agriculture laws introduced by the Central government last year and asked why people were not talking about it.

The 32 year old pop star shared a news story by CNN on the internet shutdown in several districts of Haryana, New Delhi's neighbouring state.

"Why aren't we talking about this?!", wrote Rihanna, as she added the hashtag #FarmersProtest along with the post on the micro-blogging site.

After Rihanna, climate and environmental activist Greta Thungberg also came forward in support of the protesting farmers. Like Rihanna, she too tweeted the CNN story and wrote "We stand in solidarity with the #FarmersProtest in India."

Actress Amenda Cerny too joined the list of people showing support to the farmers and shared a post on Instagram which garnered more than 300,000 likes within 6 hours of sharing the support.

Rihanna's tweet:

Why aren’t we talking about this?! #FarmersProtest

Greta Thunberg's tweet:

We stand in solidarity with the #FarmersProtest in India.
