History will judge your silence: Kangana to Sonia

TIL Desk/National/New Delhi/ Actor Kangana Ranaut, at the centre of a row with the Maharashtra government, on Friday turned her attention to Congress president Sonia Gandhi to say she must intervene and stop the harassment of women. Ranaut, whose comment likening Mumbai to Pakistan-occupied Kashmir triggered a spat with Maharashtra’s ruling Shiv Sena as well as its coalition partners Congress and Nationalist Congress Party said history would judge Gandhi’s ‘silence and indifference’.

“Dear respected honourable @NCIndia president Sonia Gandhi ji being a woman arn’t you anguished by the treatment I am given by your government in Maharashtra? Can you not request your Government to uphold the principles of the Constitution given to us by Dr Ambedkar?” the actor posted on Twitter.

Ranaut, often in the news for her provocative statements, said Gandhi had grown up in the west and lived in India and must be aware of the struggles of women. “History will judge your silence and indifference when your own government is harassing women and ensuring a total mockery of law and order. I hope you will intervene @INCIndia,” she added in another tweet.
