Prior to this, Salman had neither tweeted nor shared his opinion in relation to the protest on any public domain. None of the other big Khans – Shah Rukh Khan, Aamir Khan or Saif Ali Khan – have shared their opinion as of now.

Many celebrities like Akshay Kumar, Ajay Devgn, Suniel Shetty put out tweets in support of the MEA’s statement with tags like #IndiaAgainstPropaganda after international celebrities like Rihanna and Greta Thunberg spoke in favour of the farmers protest.

If one tweet rattles your unity, one joke rattles your faith or one show rattles your religious belief then it’s you who has to work on strengthening your value system not become ‘propaganda teacher’ for others.

To everybody’s surprise, actress Sonakshi Sinha who has majorly worked with actors like Akshay Kumar, Salman Khan and Ajay Devgn, chose to speak her mind and take a strong stand.

“The voices raised are about the violation of human rights, suppressions of free internet and expression, state propaganda, hate speech and abuse of power,” Sonakshi Sinha posted as an Instagram story.

“To re-iterate, news tonight will try to paint a picture that ‘outside forces’ are trying to meddle in the functioning of our country. Please don’t give in to that narrative. It’s human, standing up for other humans. THAT’S the narrative,” Sinha added.
