Currently there is a lot of controversy surrounding Kangana Ranaut.
How did the controversy start? Let me tell you.
Kangana had said that she is very afraid of the Mumbai Police and the Maharashtra government.
She said she feared these two more than the movie mafia.
Kangana said that Mumbai has become very unsafe.
The Mumbai Police and Maharashtra government are doing a shoddy job of investigating Sushant Singh Rajput’s death.
Because of these comments, many people in Maharashtra were very angry at her.
Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut
wrote an article in the newspaper Saamna which is the mouthpiece of Shiv Sena saying,
if Kangana does not feel safe in Mumbai,
she must not return. Instead she should stay in Himachal Pradesh.
In a TV interview he even used a bad word for Kangana
and said that if she returned she would face many problems.
In response to this comment, Kangana issued a bold Tweet that said,
"Sanjay Raut has openly threatened me and asked me not to come to Mumbai.
Earlier people in Mumbai were shouting the word ‘Azadi’ and now leaders are issuing threats.
Mumbai is now feeling like Pakistan occupied Kashmir?”
This Tweet of hers went viral. Maharashtra leaders,
Bollywood actors and citizens became very angry at this comparison.
Kangana even posted an IGTV video on her Instagram directly responding to Sanjay Raut’s threats.
Have a look at a short video clip.
In the video she directly addressed Raut and said:
Mr Raut you have used a really bad word to describe me.
You are a government employee and a Member of Parliament.
How could you use such a word. You know very well that in India every hour women are raped and mistreated.
Do you know their bodies are chopped off and thrown.
Husbands across India are breaking their wives nose, ear and jaw by beating them.
Do you know who is responsible for this?
You have abused a woman like me because of your cheap mentality.
Similarly other men mistreat women because of the same mentality.
By insulting me, you have encouraged all those who insult and abuse women on a daily basis.
For this I will never forgive you.
By abusing an actress like me you have impressed upon people the normalcy of abusing any woman.
For this I shall never forgive you.
You have encouraged the oppression of women and for this I will never forgive you.
In her video Kangana also said,
Aamir Khan had said he is afraid of living in India and wanted to move.
That time no one abused him.
Nobody targeted Naseeruddin Shah and abused him for what he said earlier.
But why am I being abused? Why such partiality?
I have always praised Mumbai Police. You can see any of my older interviews.
Remember in Palghar, the Mumbai police quietly stood while the sadhus were violently lynched.
Also, after Sushant Singh Rajput’s suicide, his father wanted to file an FIR but the Mumbai Police refused.
This is wrong.
So many things are happening in Mumbai. All I am doing is criticising them.
I have done nothing wrong by criticising such incidents.
Because as per the Indian Constitution I have the right of Freedom of Speech.
Hence, I called out the wrong-doings.
Mr Raut I would like to tell you that I have not criticised Maharashtra.
All I am saying is that the various incidents that have occured are wrong.
You party members are threatening to slap me, break my jaw and kill me if I return to Mumbai.
You will not harm me at all. I will return.
Freedom fighters like Gandhiji, Bhagat Singh, etc fought for Independence against the British.
Like them even I will continue fighting for India's independence against all the evils in the society.
So I will meet you on 9th September 2020. Jai Hind. Jai Maharashtra.
After Kangana's blunt video Himachal Pradesh CM Jai Ram Thakur
supported Kangana and said that she will be given full security in Mumbai.
The Home Ministry announced that Kangana will be given Y+ security
Kangana and her sister then landed in Mumbai on 9th September 2020
and she was seen leaving the airport with security personnel surrounding her.
Have a look at the video.
