This report will be updated when they respond.Also read:(The writer is research director with Delhi-based think tank Vichar Vinimay Kendra. He has authored two books on the RSS.)Also read:&nbsp;Support Our JournalismIndia needs fair, non-hyphenated and questioning journalism, packed with on-ground reporting. ThePrint – with exceptional reporters, columnists and editors – is doing just that.Sustaining this needs support from wonderful readers like you.Whether you live in India or overseas, you can take a paid subscription by clicking .Celebrity culture is a Disease… it feeds on brain cells… just look at these rihanna worshippers … Blood Mica is a topic covered in various documentaries for years. NGOs have been fighting the good fight against child labour not just in india but globally.First you attack the government, then you attack the credibility of these claims, then somehow feminism gets thrown around. All just because ur fav attention hungry, nword throwing hedonist narcissist heroine has been called out for her hypocritical crap!Did you pay any attention to how these Modern Day Slave owners are discovered? NGOs ko sapna nahee aa raaha fenty aur shenty company ka. Once u screw with the democratic process of a country… it is common sense that people will test your credibility n eye you out with a microscope. Because her company has no documentation for legally sourced mica, its a no brainer where her company is sourcing this mineral.And blaming the country is easy, if you have guts… go to a black person n tell them how the black market blood diamond industry of Africa is Africa’s own fault cuz they are so poor they cant take care of their kids… I dare you to say this… it will help you understand your own hypocrisy n ignorance.The only way a country can imancipate itself from poverty is through Healthy Capitalism… the same capitalism which is being disruppted by this Farmers Protest Movement. Ask these Developed countries how they conduct their agriculture n u will see the same 3 laws in their bills. I know because i live in canada and shop at walmart and superstore. These countries benifit from the same modern agricultiral approach that you guys wont accept. You would rather see the farmers continue to commit suicides as they have for decades n help spread meaningless propoganda n hashtag activism… cuz its just so Cool n Dope!Nobody giving a rats behind about the environment, civil rights n poor children… Rihanna mata par koi kichhad naa uchhaal de… Hip hoppers you disgust me ! Shame on you!You could have lived in china only as long as you were not cut to pieces to be eaten. ED / IT raid is a wishful thinking of the worthless.Wow, really some idiot payed rihanna 2.5 millon dollars to write a tweet idots why didnt they use the money to support the child labourers im sure,it would go a long way in india. Also rihanna shut the f@#k up how many times do i need to tell you , you are a pop star stick to that and being a underwear model and your life will be trouble free .Low class! Government!Everone saw her bared in the dirty heap of TOOL KIT. No wonder she wants to use her ugly body parts as TOOL KIT to corrupt everybody by promoting FENTY UGLY PRODUCTSPeople are filled with so much filth against the government that they’d rather support child labor and call their own government fascist. Grow up rioters.For god’s sake stop dragging Rihanna into this. At least she raised a voice for these poor farmers. Ha ha the audacity of the fucking people to talk about India’s sovereignty.. they’re just diverting the attention of the people. The country’s literally going into ruins with such people as leaders and influence. Going into flames#hellindiaWow, suddenly some empathy for child labourers (child abuse by Indians on indian soil) because of one tweet from Rihanna !This is a joke.This country is becoming an authoritarian, fascist regime where farmers are welcomed with barricades and barb wires instead of opening a dialogue like any decent democratic republic would.Who are they to interfere in our affairs?ForeignersIf this is actually happening, were these people waiting for Rihanna’s tweet to wake up? Stop making fool of yourself.This is more an indictment on Indian than on Rihanna. Why are you enslaving your children. Shame on you. Do the right thing and treat your citizens fairly. India is their home, they should be able to live comfortably in their home countryAt least government n more people are now aware about child labour ..illegal supply chains and farmer connectionFalse. They are trying to cause trouble now because rihanna called them out. Pathetic leave rih aloneIndia is slowly waking up to the multi-million dollar arm-twisting industry thriving in the world whereby singers/actors /activists /celebrities are on the lookout for issues that will help them make a quick buck. Words rhyming with Biryani, Maharani make these celebrities drool profusely and then they come to pitch in their tents along with their PR agents in that country even if they do not know where it is situated on the world map. Predators searching for easy preys !Who the hell are those foreigners to interfere in our internal affairsIf child workers are being exploited that is indian/ state govt failureKuch to sharam karoKitna propoganda karogeIn India, Indians themselves exploit child labour and export mica to foreign companies.Governments (state and centre both) itself have been unable to prevent the exploitation and it took a tweet to wake them up and send a notice to the foreign company?So because Rihanna sent out a tweet they didn’t like, she’s now being investigated? Sounds pretty sketchy to me.. Leave Rihanna alone!I think the Indians have it in for Rhianna now they trying to sabotage her business just because she tweets about farmers protest it’s dangerous to speak the truth with cultures which treat woman like animals and slavesI read some comments talking about retribution by government for twitting in support of the anti farm law protests by the so called farmers. Do you guys even bother to read anything carefully? The Print itself has published the following,”According to sources, it was Skyrocket that allegedly paid $2.5 million to popstar Rihanna to tweet in support of the farmers’ protest in India. Dhaliwal, the sources said, is a Canada-based Sikh who is a “self-proclaimed Sikh separatist” and is also close to Jagmeet Singh.”The so called liberals here defending an ignorant pop star, who tweets for money, pretending to care about farmers in India. Nice try. However, the problem is that you and your ilks are badly exposed now.Btw, have you read the farm laws? If so, then tell me what are the problems with these laws?Well shame on indian government for letting child labour in mines, Instead of placing your focus on everyone who potentially questions your integrity, you can actually work on bringing some positive change for the society.I read some comments about alleged retribution by the government for twitting in favour of the anti farm law protests. I’m sure they have ignored the reports published on this same portal ‘The Print’ which stated,”According to sources, it was Skyrocket that allegedly paid $2.5 million to popstar Rihanna to tweet in support of the farmers’ protest in India. Dhaliwal, the sources said, is a Canada-based Sikh who is a “self-proclaimed Sikh separatist” and is also close to Jagmeet Singh.”It’s quite convenient to ignore these facts isn’t it? Talk about freedom of speech and human rights, paid by anti-India forces supported by the so international celebrities defended by pseudo liberals commenting on this article against Modi and BJP. Nice try!The problem is folks like you are badly exposed. Have you read the farm laws and tell me what are the problems with these bills? Anyone?Ridiculous. First, if there is employment of children in mica mining, the concerned authorities in India should he held accountable. Admitting that such practice exists is no credit to India, so the author is cutting the nose (India) to spite the face (Rihanna). The author is an RSS functionary. If The Print hosts such articles without mentioning the background of the author, and without its own independent investigation into the allegation, it is acting to facilitate propaganda and The Print loses its credibility.…and they say irs free press. The Tweet is the real free pressReally? It takes a pop star and an 18 year old activist to stir a nation? Is India is a Twitter nation now? This is so pathetic. Nobody is talking about the issue, same old tactics of distraction. And celebs make it easier because we are a nation of hero worshipers.Not them making up rumors because of a tweet the lowest is whatUntill few days back, no one know who the heck is rihana. Now, after her tweet, suddenly, few of the organisations opened their searches on how to defame her. Media itself is in crisis.For a moment after reading this article, it felt that I lived in China. Previously everyone opposed to BJP in India had ED and IT raids. Now even tweets against BJP from somewhere across the world too attract retribution.Comments are closed.Substance of Print, Reach of DigitalContact us:Copyright © 2022 Printline Media Pvt. Ltd.
