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 former president said that this 19th edition of PITEX is being organised at a time when India is recognised as one of the fastest-growing large economies in the world.
Speaking at the inaugural ceremony of the event organised by the PHD Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PHDCCI) the former president, while referring to Punjab, said the state is a living example of courage, sacrifice and enterprise.
"The spiritual light of Sri Harmandir Sahib (Golden Temple) inspires peace and humanity across the world. The heritage of Punjab is deep and inspiring," Kovind said, according to a statement issued by the PITEX.
The former president congratulated the PHDCCI for hosting the 19th edition of PITEX and suggested that the chamber should expand PITEX outside Punjab.
He proposed that a similar event should also be held in New Delhi.
