American lawyer and author Meena Harris on Thursday said that she will not be silenced by the backlash against her in India for supporting the farmers’ protest. Meena Harris is the niece of US Vice President Kamala Harris.
Meena Harris shared a tweet that showed protestors holding her photo during a protest against international criticism of India’s handling of the farmers’ agitation. “I spoke out in support of human rights for Indian farmers, and look at the response,” she tweeted.
“I won’t be intimidated, and I won’t be silenced,” she wrote in another tweet.
Meena Harris has joined several international personalities in criticising the crackdown on the farmers’ movement in India. Pop star Rihanna’s tweet about internet cuts at protest sites near Delhi was instrumental in drawing global attention to the agitation in India.
