Professional wrestler Dilip Singh Rana aka The Great Khali has become the latest star from the entertainment world to have supported thousands of farmers from Punjab and Haryana, who have been camping in and around Delhi to press for their demand of repealing the Centre’s farm laws. In a video statement on the social media website Instagram, Mr Rana appealed to people of the country to support the agitating farmers.
“They will buy it (crop) for ₹ 2 and sell it for ₹ 200. The laws will also harm daily wage workers, roadside vendors; the common man will suffer. I will appeal to everyone to support the farmers so that the Centre is forced to accept their demands,” he said in Hindi.
“It will be tough for the Centre to deal with the farmers from Haryana and Punjab,” he added.

Thousands of farmers from Punjab marched to Delhi last week, braving watercannons, tear gas and lathicharges on the way. The central government, which looks after the national capital’s law and order, didn’t allow them to enter at first; later, it said the protests must be moved to a location in outer Delhi’s Burari.
