Maharashtra Govt To Probe Pro-India Tweets By Eminent Personalities Made After Rihanna's Comments: Report

The Uddhav Thackeray led Maharashtra government has announced that it will probe pro-India tweets posted by eminent personalities following singer Rihanna's comments on the farm laws, NDTV has reported.

As per reports, this step has been taken following a complaint by the Congress.

The Congress reportedly had demanded an investigation into whether the BJP had pressurised the celebrities to post their tweets.

Both Sachin and Lata ji asserted an Indian pushback against foreign and domestic propaganda which is being perpetrated against the farm reforms.

This was in a direct reaction to comments made against the farm laws by foreign celebrities like Rihanna and Greta Thunberg. It was later revealed via a toolkit that these comments were made as part of an internationally coordinated campaign. Rihanna herself is said to have copy pasted a tweet written in the toolkit.
