The Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee (DSGMC) has sent a legal notice to actor Kangana Ranaut, seeking an unconditional apology for her “derogatory” tweets against farmers and activists involved in the protest against the Centre’s farm laws, the committee’s president said on Friday.
The Bollywood star, who is known for her combative comments, was also asked to remove the particular tweets. “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, president of DSGMC, said in a tweet.
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.
It said there are several news reports which claim that the two women are not the same and, otherwise too, she has not got the right to defame any old woman for her political mileage just because she is protesting in a peaceful manner against a particular piece of legislation.
It said Kangana Ranaut’s act has lowered the reputation and image of the farmers before the whole world. The notice said this is a clear example of a “hate tweet” that needs to be tackled at the earliest.
