Kangana Ranaut slammed by Delhi Deputy CM For Her Comments On Tax Payers And CAA Protesters
Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia on Tuesday slammed Kangana Ranaut for her tweet on CAA protests and tax payers.
Kangana Ranaut is always known for her straightforward and bold comments on social issues. It's not new for the actress to land in trouble for her strong statements. At the recently held trailer launch of her upcoming flick Panga, Kangana Ranaut commented on the Citizenship (Amendment) Act, 2019 (CAA), "We're still hooked to the pre-Independence era, where our country was under siege or bondage, and people had captured us by force or the gun. Going on strikes, shutting down the country or not paying taxes against those people was considered cool."
Kangana has been at the receiving end of a number of criticisms for her speech. In her tweet, she further stated, "When you protest, the first thing that's imp is that you don't turn violent. In our population, only 3-4% ppl pay tax, others are actually dependent on them. So, who gives you the right to burn buses, trains & to create ruckus in the country?"
Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia on Tuesday slammed Kangana Ranaut for her tweet on the CAA protests and Indian tax-payers. Sisodia posted a series of tweets to explain Kangana his stand on the issue.
Sisodia tweeted, "Violence and damage to public property is wrong in every situation, it is against both humanity and law. ..But this country is not dependent on tax of only 3 per cent people. Every person in the country pays a tax, from a daily wage worker, even a daily wage labourer to a billionaire."
He added, "And yes! Even a normal daily wage labourer... when going to the cinema... contributes to the coffers of the movie stars and even pays (entertainment) tax for this country. Now think who is dependent on whom?"
Apart from the Delhi Deputy CM, the Aam Aadmi Party's National Spokesperson Ajoy Kumar also criticised Kangana Ranaut for her tweet on the CAA protesters.
Calling Kangana ill-informed, he tweeted, "Firstly not smart to ask Kangana on tax collections -- she is woefully ill-informed. All the people pay indirect taxes and for the Aam Aadmi (common man) it is a huge part of his income. Secondly -- her views have always been divisive. If only she would read Ambedkar, Gandhi".
