Indian celebrities on Wednesday (Feb 3) hit back at pop superstar Rihanna and climate activist Greta Thunberg for making social media comments about mass farmers' protests.

As the government and farmers set out ever tougher positions in their two month-old battle over new agriculture laws, sporting legend Sachin Tendulkar and a host of Bollywood stars hit out at what the foreign ministry called "sensationalist" Twitter comments.
