New Delhi: Twitter users on Sunday called out on actor turned politician and BJP MP Sunny Deol and asked him where he was as the hashtag #SunnyDeolWhereAreYou went trending on the micro-blogging site.

The reason however behind the trending hashtag was the protests of farmers who are protesting against the contentious farm Bills that were passed in parliament last week.

The farmers in the state even took to "rail roko" agitation at several places. The movement of trains in Punjab remained suspended in the wake of the "rail roko" agitation, which was extended by three days till September 29. Earlier, the farmers had decided to block trains from September 24 to 26.

Meanwhile, #SunnyDeolWhereAreYou began trending on Twitter on Sunday. Sunny Deol is the BJP MP from Punjab's Gurdaspur. Recently, he hailed the Bills and wrote in Hindi, “The Government of India had assured that farmers will be able to sell their agricultural produce at a place of their choice at a better price, which will increase the number of potential buyers." “The farmer will continue to own the crop at the production state and the crop will be insured and the farmer will also be able to take loans from financial institutions if needed,” he added.

On Saturday, farmers in Punjab went on to announce a 'social boycott' of Deol after he supported the Bills. "He is a Punjabi and his family has a farming background. Still, he has failed to understand the pain of farmers," said BKU (Lakhowal) general secretary Harinder Singh Lakhowal.

The trend was soon one of the top-trending hashtags on Twitter with over 11k tweets at the posting of this report.

Here are some of the tweets from Sunday’s campaign by Twitter users against the actor.
