JALANDHAR: Canada based Poetic Justice Foundation, which has been in the eye of a storm after it has been found that it had created the toolkit which was shared by Greta Thunberg, issued a statement stating that neither it coordinated any protest activities within India nor it coordinated Rihanna, Greta or any other celebrities to tweet.
The statement jointly issued by Mo Dhaliwal and Anita Lal, co-founders of PJF, said that information that is being spread about their organization is incorrect.
They said that it was a concerted effort and a purposeful distraction from the real issue of farmers’ protest.
“Poetic Justice Foundation did not coordinate any protest activities occurring within India. Up to India’s Republic Day and beyond — whether at Red Fort in Delhi or elsewhere in the country — we were not involved in directing or fomenting any protest activity of any sort within India,” they said.
“Poetic Justice Foundation did not coordinate Rihanna, Greta Thunberg or any number of specific celebrities to tweet about the #FarmersProtest. We didn’t pay anyone to tweet — and certainly didn’t pay anyone $2.5m to do so.” Dhaliwal and Lal said.
