Kangana Ranaut Says, 'I Am With Farmers' After Twitter Backlash For Anti-Farmers Protest Tweet
Kangana Ranaut has been surrounded by yet another controversy. The actress recently received backlash after she said that an elderly woman was seen in the ongoing farmers' protest for a price of Rs 100.
Kangana Ranaut has been surrounded by yet another controversy. The Bollywood actress recently received backlash after she said that an elderly woman, who was seen protesting against the Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA) at Shaheen Bagh in the national capital between December 2019 and March 2020, was seen in the ongoing farmers' protest in Delhi as well. Kangana Ranaut alleged that the 'Dadi' was available for a price of Rs 100 to appear at protests.
Though Kangana later deleted the tweet, many Punjabi celebrities like Prince Narula, Sargun Mehta, Himanshi Khurana and others slammed her for sharing bogus claims. Singer-actor Diljit Dosanjh also called out the Panga star for misidentifying the elderly woman at the farmers' protest. A Punjab-based lawyer also sent a legal notice to Kangana Ranaut for the tweet and has demanded a public apology.
Diljit Also Called Kangana For Her Anti Protest Tweets
After Diljit's tweet, the two continued a day-long Twitter spat calling each other names. Now, the Manikarnika star took to Twitter to clarify the misconceptions. She started by saying that she supports farmers and has stood up for them in the past.
Kangana's Statment
"I am with farmers, last year I activity promoted agroforestry and donated for the cause as well, I have been vocal about farmers exploitation and their problems also I worry a lot so prayed for resolves in this sector, which finally happened with this revolutionary bill," Kangana's tweet read.
In a thread, she added that the government will address all the doubts on the overrated issue, and people should not "let any communists hijack your protests".
Kangana Will Be Seen In Tejas, Thalaivi And Dhaakad
"This Bill is going to transform farmers' lives for better in many ways, I understand the anxiousness and effect of many rumours but I am certain government will address all doubts, please be patient. I am with my farmers and people of Punjab hold a special place in my heart. My request to Farmers across the nation is don't let any communists/Khalistani tukde gangs hijack your protests. Latest reports suggest that the talks with the authorities are yielding results. I wish everyone all the best. Hope peace n faith prevail in the nation again, Jai Hind," read another tweet by Kangana.
In the latest update, another legal notice has been sent to Kangana Ranaut for the same tweet, by the Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee (DSGMC). "We have sent a legal notice to @KanganaTeam for her derogatory tweet calling the aged mother of a farmer as a woman available for Rs 100. Her tweets portray farmers protest as anti-national. We demand an unconditional apology from her for her insensitive remarks on farmers protest," Manjinder Singh Sirsa, DSGMC's president, tweeted on Friday, December 4.
