India head coach Ravi Shastri also lend support to Tendulkar's assertion saying nobody should meddle with this as it's a internal matter.

"Agriculture is a very important part of the machinery of the Indian economic system. Farmers are the backbone of any country's ecosystem. This is an internal matter which I'm sure will be resolved through dialogue. Jai Hind! #IndiaStandsTogether #IndiaAgainstPropoganda," Shastri tweeted.

Several Indian celebrities have also come out and criticised Rihanna and Thunberg's tweets.

Earlier, in a statement, the MEA had said that a very small section of farmers in parts of the country have some reservations about the farm reforms and a proper understanding of the issue is needed before rushing to comment on the agitation.
