BJP national spokesperson demands public apology from Kangana

Kangana Ranaut

Actor Kangana Ranaut has got herself mired in yet another controversy after she said that an elderly woman, who was seen protesting against the Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA) at Shaheen Bagh in the national capital in December-March, was seen in the ongoing farmers' protest in Delhi as well and that she is available for Rs 100.

A member of Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee on Thursday sent a legal notice to her over her tweet allegedly targeting farmers protesting against the new farm laws.

The notice said that when Ranaut's premises (in Mumbai) were demolished, she used social media "to gather solidarity" from her fans, stating that the action was an attack on her fundamental rights.

"Similarly, the right to peacefully protest is part of the farmers' rights under the Constitution of India and she cannot claim a right to demean and insult the farmers."

Now, BJP spokesperson R. P. Singh has tweeted seeking a public apology from the actress for "demeaning his mother."

Earlier, singer-actor Diljit Dosanjh had tweeted a video of the "dadi" in question giving "proof" of her identity.
