Raj Thackeray said, “The government was shaken by a tweet by Rihanna. Who is Rihanna? She is not interfering in the work of our country. If this is the case then the speech of ‘Trump government next time’ is also not appropriate. “The Prime Minister should solve the issues of farmers.

The Modi government had criticized the arrival of some foreign celebrities in support of the farmers movement and the government started tweeting from #IndiaTogether and #IndiaAgainstPropaganda.

Using this hashtag, Sachin and Lata Mangeshkar also tweeted. Sachin said in his tweet that India is capable of resolving its internal issues.
