Former fast bowler RP Singh wrote, India always has a great tradition of all ideas. We can agree and disagree with each other, but we do not like to interfere and comment on our internal matter. Because we rarely do this.

Pragyan Ojha said, my country is proud of our farmers and knows how important they are. I am sure it will be resolved soon. We do not need any outside person to interfere in our internal affairs.

Significantly, former left-arm spinner Monty Panesar of England also invited the pop star to debate the farmers' movement in India.

In response to Rihanna's tweet, Monty Panesar also tweeted and wrote, It will be an honor for me to interview you on my show - The Full Monty on the subject of the farmers movement this Saturday.

The adamant farmers have been stuck in the border areas adjoining Delhi since 26 November last year, demanding the repeal of three new agricultural laws. However, the implementation of these laws is currently banned by the Supreme Court.
