New Delhi: Bollywood Actress Kangana Ranaut was summoned today over her controversial comment on Sikh Community. Today sought more time to appear before the Delhi Assembly’s panel on peace and harmony. She was asked to appear before the panel today.
“Kangana Ranaut’s lawyer has informed that the actor cannot appear before the panel due to personal and professional commitments. She has sought more time. Today’s meeting stands canceled. The committee will inform its decision to her in a letter,” said Raghav Chadha, who heads the committee.
The summons document read as “Ranaut’s blanketly labeling (Sikhs) as Khalistani terrorists… has the potential to engender disharmony as well as cause wounding humiliation to the entire Sikh community.”
“The committee has received numerous complaints eliciting inter alia, outrageously offensive and derogatory Instagram stories/posts allegedly published by yourself on 20.11.2021 over your official Instagram account…” the committee said in its notice to the actor.
A First Information Report or FIR has been filed against Kangana at Mumbai by Sikh Community, for using derogatory language on her social media.
The committee was formed in the aftermath of the riots in northeast Delhi in February 2020 with a mandate to look into incidents that could disrupt peace in the city.
