A mega pop star, a beloved activist and a relative of a ground-breaking politician have angered the Indian government by tweeting support for protesting farmers.

Tens of thousands of farmers have been protesting new agriculture laws they say will devastate their earnings.

Greta Thunberg and the niece of US Vice-President Kamala Harris are also among those who tweeted their support.

Although Greta Thunberg tweeted again in the support of Indian farmers.

She wrote "No amount of hate, threats or violations of human rights will ever change that."

Similarly US Vice President Kamala Harris's niece, Meena Harris too stood in the support of protesting farmers.

She even said "I spoke out in support of human rights for Indian farmers, and look at the response."

No amount of hate, threats or violations of human rights will ever change that. #FarmersProtest
