Punjabi singer Jazzy B, who has been a prominent voice in the ongoing farmers' protest, says he will continue to express his solidarity with people fighting for their rights after Twitter "withheld" his account in response to a legal demand in India. According to an information on Lumen database, Twitter received legal request from the government on June 6 for four accounts, including that of Jazzy B and hip-hop artist L-Fresh the Lion. The 46-year-old singer took to Instagram on Monday evening and reposted a screenshot of his Twitter account, shared by a page, which claimed that his profile was blocked for "raising his voice for the rights of farmers and calling for justice for 1984 victims." The 1984 anti-Sikh riots, which had broken out after the assassination of then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, had claimed 2,733 lives in Delhi alone.
