    Kangana Ranaut booked over controversial tweet against farmers' agitation
  • An FIR has been filed against Bollywood actor Kangana Ranaut for her controversial opinion on the farmers' agitation, which was sparked after the Centre introduced three farm Bills.

    This development came after a court in Karnataka ordered the local Kyatasandra police station to book her.

    An advocate named L Ramesh Naik had approached the Tumkuru court against the 33-year-old star.

    Here's what went down.

  • Background

    What were the protests about?

    What were the protests about?
  • Last month, the Centre introduced three farm Bills, saying it will give farmers new-found freedom. But they felt let down, alleging that the new laws would make them dependent on big private players.

    In a bid to allay their concerns, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said they shouldn't be swayed by those having vested interests.

    His words hardly had an impact as protests continued.

    As protests raged, Kangana gave her opinion, irked many
  • On September 20, quoting a tweet by PM Modi, Kangana wrote on Twitter, "If anyone's sleeping, they can be woken up, if someone doesn't understand, they can be explained, but what can be done when someone is acting to be asleep or doesn't want to understand?"

    Referring to anti-CAA protests, she said no one lost their citizenship but blood was spilled, nevertheless.

    You can read her tweet here

  • प्रधानमंत्री जी कोई सो रहा हो उसे जगाया जा सकता है, जिसे ग़लतफ़हमी हो उसे समझाया जा सकता है मगर जो सोने की ऐक्टिंग करे, नासमझने की ऐक्टिंग करे उसे आपके समझाने से क्या फ़र्क़ पड़ेगा? ये वही आतंकी हैं CAA से एक भी इंसान की सिटिज़ेन्शिप नहीं गयी मगर इन्होंने ख़ून की नदियाँ बहा दी. https://t.co/ni4G6pMmc3

  • Details

    Kangana was slammed for using the word "terrorist"

  • Quite unsurprisingly, the tweet didn't go down well with netizens; they slammed her for referring to the agitating farmers as 'terrorists.'

    However, on September 21, Kangana said that some people can "fight only on the basis of rumors" and challenged them to prove that she had called the farmers "terrorists."

    If declared guilty, she said, she would quit Twitter forever.

  • Twitter Post

    Where did I call farmers as terrorists, asked Kangana

  • जैसे श्री कृष्ण की नारायणी सेना थी, वैसे ही पप्पु की भी अपनी एक चंपू सेना है जो की सिर्फ़ अफ़वाहों के दम पे लड़ना जानती है, यह है मेरा अरिजिनल ट्वीट अगर कोई यह सिद्ध करदे की मैंने किसानों को आतंकी कहा, मैं माफ़ी माँगकर हमेशा केलिए ट्वीटर छोड़ दूँगी 🙏 https://t.co/26LwVH1QD9

  • What happened

    Kangana also slammed TOI for spreading misinformation

  • Kangana's dare, notwithstanding, Naik felt offended. He expressed displeasure at one post wherein the actor had slammed The Times Of India for misinterpreting her words.

    "People who spread misinformation and rumors about CAA that caused riots are the same people who are now spreading misinformation about Farmers bill and causing terror in the nation, they are terrorists, (sic)" Kangana wrote on September 21.

  • Twitter Post

    "You know what I said"

  • People who spread misinformation and rumours about CAA that caused riots are the same people who are now spreading misinformations about Farmers bill and causing terror in the nation, they are terrorists. You very well know what I said but simply like to spread misinformation 🙂 https://t.co/oAnBTX0Drb

  • Emotions

    Approached court to tell Kangana her actions were wrong: Lawyer

  • Referring to the September 21 tweet, Naik went to court, claiming that he wasn't hungry for publicity.

    "When farmers take to the streets to protest against any government policy, they are not necessarily terrorists, as she thinks. I have joined many such protests, am I a terrorist? I need clarification on this and therefore I am fighting this case," he said.

  • FIR

    After court gave directions, Kangana was booked

    After court gave directions, Kangana was booked
  • Naik's appeal found takers in the court and local police was asked to register an FIR.

    She was booked under IPC Sections 44 (Injury), 108 (Abettor), 153 (Wantonly giving provocation with intent to cause riot), 153(A) (Promoting enmity between different groups), 504 (Intentional insult with intent to provoke breach of the peace).

    An investigation has started, reports Bar&Bench.
