It should be recalled that more than 200 groups of farmers across the country blocked roads and organized demonstrations on Friday in protest against three controversial agricultural bills passed in the parliament session during the monsoons.
Farmers worry that the new laws could potentially dismantle the current Minimum Livelihood Price (MSP) system and leave them vulnerable to exploitation by agribusinesses.
A video of Johar’s house party has gone viral on social media. Johar’s party saw celebrities from B-town such as Deepika Padukone, Ranbir Kapoor, Vicky Kaushal, Shahid Kapoor, Varun Dhawan, Malaika Arora and Arjun Kapoor, as well as filmmakers Zoya Akhtar and Ayan Mukerji.
It is speculated that the celebrities seen in the video of the old house party were drugged.
The video, which first appeared last year, has resurfaced on news channels after the Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) began summoning Bollywood celebrities, such as Deepika Padukone and her former manager Karishma Prakash, to question them for suspected links to drugs.
