Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut has said that the Prime Minister's Office (PMO) is supporting Kangana Ranaut as the row between the political leader and the Bollywood actor continues. The Shiv Sena leader made the statement during an exclusive conversation with ABP News.

'If such a great person has said something like this then ts not right to comment on it. The PMO it and the entire government is supporting this person. It's not right for us to talk about it. The central government will give its answer," said Raut.

He also added," Mumbai is a city that maintains law and order. If someone makes derogatory remarks about the city and the administration reacts to it, then it is the question about that state's law and order. The Centre should not intervene in state's matters like this."

The statement comes after Ranaut who left for her hometown in Manali, Himachal Pradesh, continued to highlight her insecurity about being in Mumbai and claimed that the Mumbai administration has become a terror.


On Sunday  Raut had also accused the BJP of supporting the actor despite comparing Mumbai to Pak-occupied Kashmir. He also said that it was being done for the upcoming Bihar elections. A report by PTI says that in his weekly column in Sena mouthpiece 'Saamana', Raut claimed there is a systematic effort to reduce the importance of Mumbai. He alleged that constantly defaming the city is part of that conspiracy. Ranaut then hit back at Raut and asked if instead of protecting her, should Shiv Sena goons be allowed to abuse her.

Meanwhile, Ranaut had met the State Governor Bhagat Singh Koshyari on Sunday to express concerns over BMC's move to demolish her office in city's Pali Hills area earlier this week. In the meeting at the Raj Bhavan in Mumbai at 4.30 pm, the 'Manikarnika' actress informed the governor about her ongoing tension with the state government. Later she took to the Twitter to say, "I explained my point of view to him and also requested that justice be given to me. I hope justice will be given to me so that the faith of all citizens including young girls, is restored in the system. I am fortunate that the Governor listened to me like a daughter," she said after the meeting.
