DH Toon | The varying narratives of farmers' protest

"We told them APMC system will not end. We gave them proposals. But at the same time I told them that if the government is ready to make amendments it should not be construed that there are shortcomings in the legislations," Agriculture Minister Narendra Singh Tomar said on Friday in the Rajya Sabha.

"But farmers are protesting. People in one state are victims of misinformation," he said.

Meanwhile, former adult star Mia Khalifa took to Twitter again and shared a picture from a protest by a group of people, holding placards and posters of her, Rihanna and Swedish teen climate activist Greta Thunberg.

One of the placards read, "Mia Khalifa regains consciousness."

She quipped about the gaffe and wrote, "Confirming I have in fact regained consciousness, and would like to thank you for your concern, albeit unnecessary. Still standing with the farmers, though."
