As the farmers’ protests in India continued to gain ground, people across the globe have lent their support to the farmers.
While Canadian PM Justin Trudeau came out in support of the farmers’ peaceful protests, UK PM Boris Johnson had quite a different take on the situation that left everyone thoroughly confused. Because he believed the protests were regarding Indo-Pak disputes.
Yes, looks like PM Johnson had no idea about what the protests pertained to. And when MP Tanmanjeet Singh Desi asked for him to address PM Modi and convey anxiety over the on-going protests, PM Johnson’s response left a lot to desire.
The world is watching, issue is a huge one with hundreds of thousands protesting globally (including in London, reported on by BBC) and the usual Boris Johnson bluff and bluster heaps further embarrassment onto our nation. Absolutely clueless! So disappointed with his response.

Naturally, Twitterati was quick to comment on PM Johnson’s response:

He parroted his lines reserved the Kashmiri’s struggle for Independence and thought they would fit in to any topic relating to India. A truly vile man.

The PM hadn’t got a clue about what you were talking about Tan Dhesi, and his answer was not satisfactory at all. I’m sorry he didn’t reply to your question. I stand with you on this.

Boris Johnson’s face when he was asked that question. A total embarrassing response. The man is not clued up whatsoever 🙃 pic.twitter.com/eaFBl3zPe5

Nothing short of disgraceful. @TanDhesi talks of the dignified actions of noble people – and gets a hollow-worded answer as shallow as this.

The UK government spokesperson later stated about the issue that “The Prime Minister clearly misheard the question in Parliament. The Foreign Office are following the issue of protests in India closely”.
