Mallick claimed Kangana's "tweet was re-tweeted by nearly 5,000 people; 6,000 people reacted to it and more than 37,000 people saw it."
"This has presented a wrong picture of our leader Kushwaha and is an attempt to spread hatred in the society and country (sic)."
Kushwaha also objected to Kangana's tweet and wondered whether she is doing such things only to enter politics.

Lately, Kangana has been targeting certain politicians as well as fellow Bollywood celebrities who are supporting the ongoing farmers' protest.
After she put out a "misinforming" tweet about an elderly woman from the protest, she got involved in an ugly war-of-words with singer-actor Diljit Dosanjh.
She also slammed actor Priyanka Chopra, who has extended support to the protesting farmers.
