The Congress too expressed its ire over Rihanna’s tweet with party leader Rahul Gandhi stating the ongoing farmers' protest in our internal matter and government has to take back the three agri laws. 

"I have no reaction on this. This is our internal matter and all three laws must be taken back," he told a press conference in the national capital. 

Thousands of farmers have been camping at various Delhi border since November last year, demanding the government to repeal the three farm laws and legal guarantee of minimum support price (MSP) for their crops. The government has so far held 11 rounds of talks with the ruling dispensation but there has been no positive outcome yet.
