Kangana Ranaut slams IPS officer for her statement on firecrackers

On November 14, Roopa, who is Home Secretary to the Government of Karnataka, had tweeted a link to a Facebook post, writing, "My contemplative piece on crackers, the government ban and people's behaviour (sic)."

In her long Facebook post, she said, "Crackers were not there during early and later Vedic age; there is no mention of crackers in our epics and puranas (sic)."

Launching a rant against the IPS officer, Kangana tweeted, "Sick and tired of being treated like a slave in my own country, we can't celebrate our festivals, can't speak the truth and defend our ancestors, we can't condemn terrorism."

"What is the point of such a shameful enslaved life controlled by the keepers of darkness," she added.

Kangana concluded her series of tweets by writing, "She should be suspended. Such cops are a shame in the name of police force. We can't let her get her evil ways (sic)."

However, Kangana was not the only one to criticize the IPS officer.

Roopa also faced the wrath of fellow Twitter users after her remarks surrounding the bursting of firecrackers surfaced.

Many users called Roopa's remarks an "attack on Hindu culture."

Notably, a popular Twitter handle by the name of "True Indology" was suspended after its account holder got into a war of words with the IPS officer over the origin of firecrackers.

After it was suspended, many came out in the account holder's support, using the trend #BringBackTrueIndology.
