Reacting without understanding the real matter is wrong ! Indian Government

Indian external affairs ministry has issued a statement regarding these ‘celebrity’ statements. The statement defends the new farm laws with, “the temptation of sensationalist social media hashtags and comments especially when resorted to by and others is neither accurate not responsible. It would have been appropriate to take the complete information before reacting. Indian parliament had passed ‘reformist legislation relating to the agricultural sector’ after a full debate and discussion.”
