Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP P. C. Mohan compared Ravi to Ajmal Kasab and Burhan Wani.[13] BJP Haryana Home Minister Anil Vij called for thorough investigation alleging foreign conspiracy.[14]


Musician Vineeth Vincent, an acquaintance of Ravi, told NDTV that Ravi opposes violence, and "Disha is the soft target, she is the person who will be the poster girl - so that the rest of us do not speak up and are put in place," and "My message to the government is - listen to the young people," adding, "There is some sense in what we are trying to say. [...] You could have started a conversation with Disha. She is not going to run anywhere... She is not the kind to run away."[15] Nine-year-old activist Licypriya Kangujam tweeted "This is an attempt to silence the voices of young girls & women in this country. But THIS WILL NOT STOP US from fighting for our planet & future."[16][17]

Here’s an updated toolkit by people on the ground in India if you want to help. (They removed their previous document as it was outdated.)
#StandWithFarmers #FarmersProtest
[LINK]

February 4, 2021[30]

On 4 February 2021, Greta Thunberg tweeted in support of Indian farmers and in another tweet linked an updated toolkit, saying it was "by people on the ground in India."[31] Following media reports of Indian authorities filing a First Information Report (FIR) against the creators of the toolkit[32]), Thunberg tweeted, I still #StandWithFarmers and support their peaceful protest. No amount of hate, threats or violations of human rights will ever change that. #FarmersProtest".[31][32]

On 13 February 2021, Ravi was picked up for questioning from her home in Soladevanahalli, Bengaluru, by Delhi Police for allegedly disseminating a social media toolkit related to the 2020–2021 Indian farmers' protests.[33][34] She was sent to 5-day police custody.[35][36][37]. The police filed a case of sedition and criminal conspiracy against Ravi and said her arrest was related to an investigation into farmers storming the historic Red Fort on January 26, 2021 and alleged Khalistani links.[38] [39] [40][41]

International press highlighted the arrest as part of a pattern of the Indian government. BBC News reported "many fear" Ravi's arrest is part of a larger pattern of intimidation of journalists and protestors using what BBC News described as "draconian" colonial era Sedition laws.[42] The New York Times described the arrest as the "latest in a series of broader crackdowns on activists" and part of a larger decline in internet freedom in India.[43] The Telegraph wrote that the arrest "comes after Ms. Thunberg and the popstar Rihanna used their celebrity status to support the farmers' protests, prompting an angry response from the Indian government."[44] Time (magazine) reports on the larger crackdown on dissent in India with Ravi's arrest being a part.[45] NBC News reported that Ravi "has emerged as a symbol of the Indian government’s crackdown on dissent" and her arrest has "renewed concerns of an authoritarian backlash to the farmers’ protests that have rocked the country."[46]
