New Delhi: The Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee (DSGMC) has sent a legal notice to Bollywood actor Kangana Ranaut. It has sought an unconditional apology for her ‘derogatory’ tweet in which she had allegedly misidentified an old woman at the farmers’ protest in the Capital as Bilkis Bano. Ranaut later deleted her tweet over the old woman following criticism on social media, Hindustan Times (HT).
“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’ protests as anti-national. We demand an unconditional apology from her for her insensitive remarks on farmers’ protest,” Manjinder Singh Sirsa, DSGMC’s president, tweeted on Friday.
Before this, a Punjab-based Advocate, Harkam Singh had also sent a legal notice to Ranaut over her now-deleted tweet. He said she should have authenticated information before posting it on social media and demanded an apology over her tweets, in which she allegedly misidentified the woman, HT reported.
“I sent a legal notice for a tweet misidentifying Mohinder Kaur as Bilkis Bano with an insinuation that she (Kaur) was available as a hired protestor for Rs 100. The notice gives Ranaut seven days to issue an apology failing which a defamation case will be pursued,” Singh was quoted as saying by ANI on Wednesday.
