Kangana Ranaut is all over social media, yet again. On a day that she took jibes at many Bollywood celebs, including Karan Johar, she also reacted to the former Member of Rajya Sabha Subramanian Swamy’s remark over her Y-plus security, and their tweets are going viral.
Kangana Ranaut was accorded Y+ security by the Union Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) in 2020 in the wake of a spat between Ranaut and Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut, with the actor comparing Mumbai to Pakistan Occupied Kashmir and claiming a threat to her life in the city. The issue was raked up again by former Rajya Sabha Member of Parliament Subramanian Swamy on Twitter on Sunday.
He tweeted, “The SPG knows, and has kept a register of her movements. I wonder why since it is no business of SPG to track Bollywood stars. In her case, on a special dispensation she has a high level of
security provided.”
Kangana addressed the issue head-on and justified the security she received from the Indian government. The Bollywood celebrity stated that her vocal nature often makes her a target for various political groups in Maharashtra and Punjab. Given the threats she has faced, she requested the SPG to extend her Y-Plus security for her safety.
Kangana wrote, "I am not just a Bollywood star sir, I am also a very vocal and concerned citizen, I was the target of political malice in Maharashtra, at my expense nationalists could make a government here. I also spoke about tukde gang and strongly condemned Khalistani groups. I am also a filmmaker, writer and producer and my next production Emergency involves operation Bluestar… there is evident treat to my life hence I requested for extended security… Is there something wrong in this Sir ?,"
