The bank of cameras that camped outside Delhi’s sprawling Tihar jail was the sort of media frenzy you would expect to await a Prime Minister caught in an embezzlement scandal, or perhaps a Bollywood star caught in the wrong bed.
Instead, the cameras were waiting for Disha Ravi, a nature-loving 22-year-old vegan climate activist who against all odds has found herself ensnared in an Orwellian legal saga that includes accusations of sedition, incitement and involvement in an international conspiracy whose elements include (but are not limited to): farmers’ protests, the global pop star Rihanna, supposed plots against yoga and chai, Sikh separatism and Greta Thunberg.

While responding to a question raised in the Lok Sabha, the Union Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) in a written reply stated that no foreign government has till now extended support to the ongoing farmers protest in India, even though a few motivated Indian-origin individuals were raising issues against the agri laws.
According to a report by
Hindustan Times, the reply was issued by minister of state for external affairs V Muraleedharan in response to the query raised by All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) MPs Syed Imtiaz Jaleel and Asaduddin Owaisi. The query was centered on whether any foreign governments and PIOs had shown solidarity with the farmers protests.
