Actress Gul Panag joins Bollywood figures in showing support to protesting farmers
New Delhi: Actress Gul Panag became the latest Bollywood celebrity to openly support the farmers protesting against the Centre’s Farm Bills. Panag on Wednesday shared a video and image on her Twitter account wherein she is seen meeting with the protesting farmers.
Panag, in the video, can be heard asking the farmer about the domicile as the farmers reveal they are from Haryana. Panag later confirms with the farmers if they are from Haryana or Punjab, debunking the media and Haryana Government’s claim that says the protesting farmers only belong to Punjab.
The group of farmers in the video reveals they are indeed from Haryana and the media claims are not true that say the protesting farmers only belong to Punjab.
Panag shared the video with hashtags #Tractor2Twitter and #StandWithFarmers.
In another image shared by Panag, she is holding a placard reading “We are farmers not a terrorist” (SIC) in four languages.
Earlier, Bollywood celebs including Sonam Kapoor, Priyanka Chopra, and others had raised their voices in support of protesting farmers.

Punishment for those disrupting assembly proceedings, warns Speaker UT Khader
Belagavi: Speaker U.T. Khader on Friday warned that members who disrupt Assembly proceedings by talking in their seats during debates will be made to sit in the House for an entire day as a disciplinary measure.
The warning came after the Question Hour, when Deputy Leader of the Opposition Arvind Bellad was permitted to initiate a discussion on the development of North Karnataka.
At this point, expelled BJP MLA Basanagouda Patil Yatnal objected, stating that he had been seeking a debate for the past three days but had not been given an opportunity.

Responding to the objection, Speaker Khader said Bellad had already been granted permission and assured Yatnal that he would be allowed to speak at the next opportunity. He noted that even as a serious discussion was underway, several MLAs were speaking among themselves with their microphones on, disrupting the proceedings.
Expressing displeasure over the conduct of members, Khader likened the situation to football, where players receive red, yellow, or white cards for violations. Similarly, he said, the Assembly issues warning cards to members who disturb the House. If they fail to correct themselves despite repeated warnings, they would be required to remain seated in the Assembly hall for a full day as punishment, he stated.
