Kangana Ranaut‘s statement comparing Mumbai to Pakistan occupied Kashmir has brought her into a lot of trouble and the controversial remark doesn’t seem to cool down. Maharashtra Vikas Aghadi, which is the ruling party in Maharashtra, run by Shiv Sena has stated that Ranaut’s remarks have hurt the sentiments of the people of Maharashtra which solicts action against her, besides an apology.
Apparently, on Monday a retired Assistant Commissioner of Police, Pradeep Lonandkar has asked the ‘Queen’ to delete the derogatory and defamatory posts tweeted by her on September 1 and 2, wherein she made her controversial remarks of comparing Mumbai to PoK and against the Mumbai police and its commissioner.
The notice metioned the allegations levelled by Ranaut that the city commissioner of police was “intimidating” her and “encouraging social bullying” against her are completely false, facetious, baseless and unsubstantiated.
The commissioner of police, Param Bir Singh in reply to Kangana’s tweet, said that the alleged insulting tweet has not been liked by his handle and that the cyber police has been asked to examine the counterfeit screenshot, the notice sent through solicitor Mohan Jayakar said. “It is extremely shocking and unfortunate that you have also posted derogatory tweets about Mumbai comparing it with PoK.”, the notice said.
The notice demands Ranaut to delete her tweets and issue a public statement apologising to the Commissioner of Police, Mumbai and the Mumbai police.
“Our client, Lohandkar, calls upon you to pay a sum of Rs 50 crore which should be deposited with the Mumbai Police Welfare Fund or the Mumbai Police Foundation”, the notice said. The notice also states that if Kangana fails to comply with this, legal action will be taken on her.
