Swedish climate activist, 18-year-old Greta Thunberg, allegedly accidentally posted a “toolkit” of talking points for influencers in support of the farmers protest in India.
Twitter account Breaking911 saved screenshots of the toolkit before it was deleted by Thunberg.

In the content of the kit, it included ‘suggested posts’ and accounts for influencers to tag when posting their support. Among the accounts to tag to gain international attention were British Prime Minister Boris Johnson and the United Nations’ official Twitter account.
Thousands of farmers in India put on a show of defiance, blockading several major highways near Delhi in response to controversial farming laws and harsh police tactics.

Democratically elected Govt has passed the law for the benefit of the country. It cannot be repealed under pressure of farmers. They can protest peacefully as is their right but no violence by them will be tolerated. Govt has already mentioned to the farmers that it is willing to make amendments to the bill if the are willing to talk, but the bill itself will not be repealed.
