Mumbai: Actress Kangana Ranaut has been posting several stories on her Instagram handle in support of Israel in its ongoing clashes with Palestine. She went on to juxtapose a tweet of a UP BJP MLA who questioned former cricketer Irfan Pathan for sympathising with Palestine but remaining silent on West Bengal violence that erupted after TMC's win in the state. 

Kangana's this Instagram post prompted Irfan Pathan to clarify on Twitter that all his tweets are either for humanity on for his countrymen. He lashed out Kangana reminding her of her Twitter account suspension for "spreading hate." "All My tweets are either 4 humanity or countrymen, from a point of view of a guy who has represented India at d highest level. On d contrary counters I get from ppl like Kangna who’s account get dismissed by spreading hate n some other paid accounts are only about hate."

Kerakat MLA Dinesh Chuadhary on Wednesday had posted that "if Irfan Pathan loves his country so much, what made him not put a single tweet on West Bengal violence." Kangana used a screenshot of his tweet to paste it along with one of her stories on Instagram.

Recently, Kangana Ranaut's Twitter account got permanently suspended after she posted  series of controversial tweets. Later she took to Instagram and allegedly posted several offensive stories through her Instagram account. Her posts were an indication of communal hatred against the controversial political violence in Bengal. A lot of people reacted against it by reporting her account. 

Just before her Twitter was suspended, in a series of tweets, the actress had made comments on the alleged violence that took place in West Bengal after election results were declared recently which led to her account suspension as it is against the regulations of the micro-blogging site.  (Checkout Kangana Ranaut's Instagram story below)

Moments after she shared a video of herself in tears while speaking about atrocities happening in Bengal, her account got suspended. However the video is already viral on Twitter and is being shared by her fans.

Earlier this week, Kangana said she is waiting to be banned from Instagram, claiming it would be a badge of honour for her. The actress has been a staunch supporter of PM Narendra Modi and the BJP. 

She is currently under self-isolation after being infected with Coronavirus.
