On Tuesday, Ajay’s car was stopped outside Film City by Rajdeep, a driver from Punjab. “He is against Punjab,” shouted Rajdeep.
He was upset over the actor’s tweet warning people “not to fall for propaganda against Indian policies”, following which he was accused of being insensitive towards farmers.
Don’t fall for any false propaganda against India or Indian policies. Its important to stand united at this hour w/o any infighting

Some people also remarked it was a shame that international stars such as Rihanna raised the issue and Bollywood actors did not.
Chamcha! So easy for you to put a tweet out sitting in comfort. Send your oldies out for 1 day in that cold and you’ll understand what they are going through! The sad thing is it took a GLOBAL star like @rihanna to you wake you guys up. #shameonyoubollywood

Shame? For what? For people around the world being able to see the inhumane actions of the Indian government?

A case was registered against Rajdeep, but he was later released on bail.
Tens of thousands of farmers have been protesting since November 26 in camps on the outskirts of New Delhi against the deregulation of India’s agriculture sector, AFP reported.
The protests have divided the country, with several accusing the protestors of having an anti-state agenda. The government also cut off internet in the capital New Delhi in a bid to stop protests, international media has reported.
