Mumbai:
The political dispute over Kangana Ranaut’s tweet comparing Mumbai to Pakistani-occupied Kashmir, for which it has been threatened by Shiv Sena leaders, heated up even more today when Anil Vij, interior minister in the Haryana-led government of the BJP, sought police protection for the actor.
“KanganaRanaut should be given police protection. He should be allowed to make disclosures freely (in the case of Sushant Singh Rajput),” Haryana Minister Anil Vij, who apparently supports Amruta’s “freedom of expression” stance, told ANI. Fadnavis, wife of the former Maharashtra. The Prime Minister and leader of the BJP, Devendra Fadnavis.
Vij’s request to “protect” the actor comes a day after Shiv Sena MLA Pratap Sarnaik said that Ms. Ranaut should be charged with sedition and that his colleague Sanjay Raut’s suggestion: Shiv Sena’s women slap the actor if he flew to Mumbai on September 9. – were mild.
In response to his comment, the head of the National Commission for Women, Rekha Sharma, demanded that Mr. Sarnaik be arrested.
A supporter of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and the BJP, Ms Ranaut has been constantly attacking the Congressional-Shiv Sena-NCP government in Maharashtra, the Mumbai police and Bollywood over the death of actor Sushant Singh Rajput for weeks.
In response, Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut had recently written to the party spokesperson: “We kindly ask you not to come to Mumbai. This is nothing more than an insult to the Mumbai police. The Home Office should take measures in this regard “.
Ms. Ranaut had responded by saying: “Sanjay Raut, leader of Shiv Sena, has openly threatened me and asked me not to return to Mumbai, after the Aazadi graffiti on the streets of Mumbai and now the open threats, why does Mumbai feel like occupied Pakistan Kashmir? ” “
Since then, the declaration has turned into a free-for-all political snowball.
Although the BJP has distanced itself from the controversy raised by Ranaut, some of its allies have backed the actor.
