Meena Harris became talk of the town after she post series of tweets suppporting the farmers protest in India against three contentious agri laws passed by the Centre last year. Thousand of farmers have been camping at the Delhi borders demanding rollback of all three farms laws.
Amid the brouhaha over Twitter and farmers' issue, Meena Harris and some international celebrities had recently extended their support to the Indian protesters agitating against the new farm laws.
"It's no coincidence that the world's oldest democracy was attacked not even a month ago, and as we speak, the most populous democracy is under assault. This is related. We all should be outraged by India's internet shutdowns and paramilitary violence against farmer protesters," Meena tweeted extending her support to farmers' protest.
