రైతు నిరసనలపై స్పందించిన అమెరికా || US officially reacts to farm protests
A day after the Indian government organised an online campaign against comments by foreign celebrities, the United States has stated that peaceful protests and unhindered access to the internet are a “hallmark of thriving democracy”.

“We recognize that peaceful protests are a hallmark of any thriving democracy, and note that the Indian Supreme Court has stated the same,” said the US state department in response to the Wall Street Journal.

Stating that it encourages all parties to resolve differences through dialogue, the state department also said, “In general, the United States welcomes steps that would improve the efficiency of India’s markets and attract greater private sector investment.”

“We recognize that unhindered access to information, including the internet, is fundamental to the freedom of expression and a hallmark of a thriving democracy,” stated the statement.

The US state department’s remarks in answer to a question from a reporter came after the Indian Ministry of External Affairs had issued a strong criticism of celebrities like US singer Rihanna and niece of the US Vice President, Meena Harris.
The US embassy spokesperson in Delhi too issued the identical statement, with an addition – “These are private citizens expressing their points of view. I don’t have comment on remarks from private citizens.”

To her 100 million followers on Twitter, Rihanna had tweeted, “why aren’t we talking about this?!” along with a link to a CNN article that only referred to the internet shutdown in border areas of the Indian capital as imposed by security forces.

After her, environmental activist Greta Thunberg and other celebrities also chimed in with their concern about the restrictions.

Later in the day, India’s Ministry of External Affairs came out with a detailed statement against the “foreign individuals and entities on the farmers’ protests”. It listed the advantages of the three farm laws and claimed that they were passed by parliament after “full debate and discussion”.
