New Delhi: Amidst the political uproar surrounding the two agricultural bills passed by the Parliament on Sunday, news agency ANI found some farmers in various parts of the country who announced their support for the two bills.

In a story from Kanpur, ANI reported that farmers in the district welcomed the new agriculture reform bills.

"We welcome the farm bill but the central govt should think more about the farmers. They should exclude the role of middlemen & take steps to ensure that farmers don't commit suicide," farmers were quoted as saying by ANI.

The story was posted on Twitter by the news agency, but soon the reactions from other users made it evident that it had failed to convince people about its authenticity.

Twitterati who outrightly declared it propaganda and started finding fault in the story. Noted activist Darshan Mondkar took a dig at the story and wrote “I love the farms in Kanpur UP. I mean, look at the healthy farmers sitting in the beautiful lined trees. And check the lovely boundary wall and the iron grills over it. Then check the Gate in the background. Also notice how all these farmers have such identical looking fields. There is so much beauty in uniformity. If this is how the farms look in Kanpur..... I wonder how the rest of Uttar Pradesh looks. Disclaimer: UNESCO has declared ANI as the first News Agency in the world to take pictures of a bunch of "Ramu Kaka"s in the city garden and pass them as farmers. This is also a great contribution to Adityanath's dream of building the World's Best Film City in UP” he wrote in a Facebook post.

Istanbul: Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has confirmed reports from Turkish media indicating that Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh is scheduled to visit Turkey on Saturday. Erdogan stated, "What we will speak will be between us for now. And we will take our steps accordingly."

Regarding the recent escalation, Erdogan expressed dissatisfaction with the lack of international leadership.

"Israel says different things, Iran of course has different opinions. Nobody claimed the [attack]. And there is no reasonable statement so far. You can not say ‘What Iran says is right.' You can not say ‘What Israel says is right’ either. When you look at USA, they say ‘We were aware, we were not aware,'" Erdogan commented while addressing reporters in Istanbul.

Additionally, Erdogan remarked that he was not surprised by the United States vetoing the United Nations Security Council resolution that would have facilitated full UN recognition of a Palestinian state on Thursday.

“At the UNSC while the world supported Palestine, America is backing Israel again. We were not expecting anything different but this gave us an opportunity to see that,” he added.
