Kangana Ranaut - Shiv Sena Row: Sanjay Raut Claims Actress Backed by PMO, Says Will Raise Issue In Parliament

Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut has said that Bollywood actor Kangana Ranaut is being supported by the Prime Minister's Office (PMO).

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.

चंडीगढ़ मे उतरते ही मेरी सिक्यरिटी नाम मात्र रह गयी है, लोग ख़ुशी से बधाई दे रेही हैं, लगता है इस बार मैं बच गयी, एक दिन था जब मुंबई में माँ के आँचल की शीतलता महसूस होती थी आज वो दिन है जब जान बची तो लाखों पाए, शिव सेना से सोनिया सेना होते ही मुंबई में आतंकी प्रशासन का बोल बाला।

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.

Wow!! Unfortunate that BJP is protecting someone who busted drug and mafia racket, BJP should instead let Shiv Sena goons break my face,rape or openly lynch me, nahin Sanjay ji? How dare they protect a young woman who is standing against the mafia!!! https://t.co/xnspn8yeSW
