Kangana Ranaut’s Twitter Profile Temporarily Banned On Account Of ‘Spreading Hate And Violence’

Bollywood actor Kangana Ranaut’s Twitter account was temporarily banned on Wednesday, January 21 for few hours on accounts of violating rules. This development came after Kangana used the micro-blogging application to respond to the ongoing controversy surrounding the newly released web show Tandav. The response of the actor did not go down well with the Twitter community as they found it defamatory and appeared to incite violence.

In a now-deleted Tweet, Kangana Ranaut had written: “Because even Lord Krishna forgave 99 mistakes of Sheshupala… pehle shanti phir kranti (peace before vengeance) … time to take their heads off. Jai Shri Krishan…”. As soon as the tweet surfaced online, Kangana faced a lot of censure with netizens appealing to Twitter to suspend her profile on account of ‘spreading hate’.

TeamSAATH🤝 strongly condemns this call for violence from @KanganaTeam. Disliking OTT content is no reason to justify violence. Since she's (hopefully) realized her mistake & deleted the Tweet, we will be prompted to report to @Twitter if this is repeated. pic.twitter.com/ekSS9Q2EoB

After the tweet was deleted, the temporary ban of the application was also lifted. However, the temporary ban did not stop the actor from expressing her opinions. In another tweet, Kangana took a jibe at the ‘liberal community’ who reported her account to Twitter. Referring to Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey as ‘chacha’, Kangana wrote, “Librus cried to their chacha @jack and got my account temporarily restricted. They are threatening me mera account/virtual identity kabhi bhi desh keliye shaheed ho sakti hai,magar my reloaded desh bhakt version will reappear through my movies.Tumhara jeena dushwar karke rahungi.”

“(They are threatening me that my account and my virtual identity might get martyred. But my patriotic spirit will reappear through my movies. I will make your life miserable)”
