Legal notices have been sent to Kangana Ranaut by members of the Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee (DSGMC) and Shiromani Akali Dal for her now deleted tweet.
In the tweet, she falsely identified septuagenarian farmer Mohinder Kaur, who was participating in the ongoing farmer protests, as Shaheen Bagh activist Bilkis Bano. She had also claimed that the two women are being paid Rs 100 to protest.
The legal notice said that when her premises were demolished she had used social media to gather solidarity from her fans stating that her fundamental rights have been violated. Similarly, the right to peacefully protest is a part of the farmers’ rights under the Constitution of India and she cannot claim a right to demean and insult the farmers, the notice added.
SAD National Spokesperson Manjinder Singh Sirsa tweeted a picture of the notice. In his tweet, he wrote that the ‘Panga’ actress must apologise for trying to imply through her tweets that the “farmers’ protests were anti-national”.
Kangana said that she has been dealing with many naysayers individually and now this notice by the DSGMC is nothing but a way of making her legendary.
Her tweet read, “Film mafia filed many cases on me, last night Javed Akhtar filed one more, Maharashtra government filing one case every hour now congress in Punjab is also joined the gang…. Lagta hai mujhe mahan banake he dum lenge. Thank you”
