Dharam and Hema on opposite sides of farm debate

  • 3 years ago
It's a Deol-purpose political family from India's agricultural heartland Punjab. Veteran actor Dharmendra, his wife BJP MP Hema Malini and son BJP legislator Sunny Deol -- all in the family have a different take on farm laws. While the senior Deol, who has for decades cultivated a son of the soil image, extended support for "farmer brothers", the BJP MP from Mathura reacted with derision to the farmers' protest. Their son, however, toed an almost middle path -- standing both with his party and with farmers.
