New Delhi: The farmers’ agitation against the Centre’s new farm laws received a shot in the arm when popular WWE wrestler The Great Khali threw his weight behind them.
In a video shared on Instagram, when Khali – whose real name is Dalip Singh Rana – urged everyone to support the farmers who marched all the way from Punjab and have been protesting for almost a week at different points of the Delhi border.
“Government has messed with the wrong people. It will be tough for them,” he said, asking the Centre to roll back the farm laws.
