The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has distanced itself from Kangana Ranaut’s controversial comments regarding the farmers’ agitation. The party stated that Ranaut, a BJP MP, is not authorized to speak on policy matters and should refrain from making such statements in the future. The BJP emphasized its commitment to social harmony and its belief in the principles of ‘Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas, and Sabka Prayas.’
Protests and news updates from around the world, including pro-Palestine protests on university campuses in the United States, farmers’ protests in India, and challenges faced by passengers on crowded trains.
Two documentaries chronicling the farmers’ protests and anti-CAA movement in India will be featured at Hot Docs, North America’s largest documentary film festival. ‘Farming The Revolution’ follows the year-long protests against farm laws, while ‘Shaheen Bagh: By the People, for the People’ focuses on the women-led protests against the Citizenship Amendment Act. Other Indian films at the festival include ‘Marching in the Dark,’ which explores farmer suicides, and ‘Drawing a Line,’ which highlights the work of cartoonist Rachita Taneja.
