Attempting to counter Nobel Peace Prize nominee and Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg’s criticism of the Indian Government’s handling of farmers’ movement, BJP MP Meenakshi Lekhi on Thursday took a swipe at her saying she would propose her name for “child bravery award” as the 18-year-old activist has done a “huge” service to the country by uploading the toolkit which according to her proved the conspiracy being designed to destabilise India.
Another BJP spokesman Gaurav Bhatia described Greta’s toolkit as an “anarchy school-kit” that gave away evidence of international conspiracy against the country.
Greta has extended support to the ongoing farmers’ protests and hit out at the Indian government. Her tweet came soon after American pop singer Rihanna tweeted a CNN article on farmers’ protest and partial internet suspension.
Greta who had deleted her first tool-kit, however, came out with the second one backing agitating Indian farmers. The Delhi Police on Thursday filed an FIR against the toolkit creators.
Lekhi said the earlier deleted document of hers made it clear that there have been elaborate plans to “destabilise” India since January 1.
