MNS Warns Kangana over Her 'Why is Mumbai Feeling like PoK' Comment

After Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut asked Kangana Ranaut to not come back to Mumbai over her comments against Mumbai Police, the actress took to Twitter to state that she had received open threats from the politician. She also compared Mumbai to Pakistan Occupied Kashmir (PoK) and her remarks have sparked a controversy.

Kangana's remarks have received a mixed response and many names from the Bollywood industry came forward to slam the actress for her comments against Mumbai. The Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) also warned Kangana and also stated that the BJP IT cell is backing her.

Ameya Khopkar, head of the MNS film workers union, said “Today, Mumbai is safe only due to Mumbai Police as women can travel even at midnight. We will not allow anyone to unjustly criticise the Mumbai Police."

Congress spokesperson Sachin Sawant alleged the entire campaign has been run by the BJP IT cell. “Ranaut is just a face but the whole campaign is run by the BJP IT cell to malign the state government,” he said.

Sawant also demanded a narco analysis test of BJP legislator Ram Kadam and probe into BJP's connection to Sushant Singh Rajput's friend Sandip Ssingh.

“We also demand a Narco test of Ram Kadam who seems to be having immense knowledge of drugs and suppliers since Vivek Moitra days. We would also want to know BJP’s connection to drugs and who Sandeep Ssingh was speaking to in @BJP4Maharashtraoffice when he called there 53 times,” said Sawant.

Ram Kadam hit back saying that he is ready for a narco test and also added that the  issue here is of trying to pressurise Kangana and protecting the Bollywood Mafia.

Sanjay Raut also lashed out at Kangana Ranaut and stated that “If she has proof of the drug mafia, she should submit the proof to the government or the Police instead of just using the social media."

Meanwhile, actress Renuka Sahane took to Twitter to condemn Kangana's comment and wrote: “I am all for criticizing govts. But “why Mumbai is feeling like POK” seems to me like a direct comparison between Mumbai & POK. Your comparison was really in bad taste. As a Mumbaikar, I did not like it! Maybe it was naive of me to expect any better from you."
