After deleting tweet on farmers’ protest, Dharmendra says ‘extremely in pain to see the suffering of my farmer brothers’

Dharmendra said that he is extremely pained to see the suffering of the protesting farmers and urged the government to find a solution to their concerns at the earliest.

After deleting his earlier tweet in support of the farmers’ protest, veteran actor Dharmendra has now expressed solidarity with his ‘farmer brothers’ yet again. The 85-year-old actor took to Twitter to urge the government to ‘do something fast’. Farmers across the country have been staging a massive protest against the government’s new agriculture laws, which they fear will leave them at the mercy of big corporations.

Dharmendra expressed solidarity with the protesting farmers.

“I am extremely in pain to see the suffering of my farmer brothers . Government should do something fast,” he wrote, sharing a picture of himself looking glum.

When a Twitter user posted a screenshot of the deleted tweet and wondered why it was taken down, Dharmendra replied, “Aap ke Aise hi comments se dukhi ho kar apna tweet delete kar diya tha ..ji bhar ke gaali de leejiye Aap ki khushi mein khush hoon main..Haan ..Apne Kissan bhaiyon Ke liye ..bahut dukhi hoon ..Sarkaar ko jadldi koi hall tlaash kar Leena chahie. Hamari kisi ki koi sunwai nehin (I felt sad because of comments like these, and hence deleted my tweet. You can abuse me to your heart’s content, I am happy that you are happy. I am sad for my farmer brothers. The government should find a solution fast, nobody is listening to us).”

Dharmendra will be seen next in Anil Sharma’s Apne 2, which will feature three generations of the Deols - Dharmendra, his sons Sunny Deol and Bobby Deol, and Sunny’s son Karan Deol. The film will release on Diwali 2021.
