Kangana Ranaut Says, 'I Am With Farmers' After Twitter Backlash For Anti Farmers' Protest Tweet
Kangana Ranaut has been surrounded by yet another controversy. The actress recently received backlash after she said that an elderly woman, who was seen protesting against the Citizenship (Amendment) Act (CAA) at Shaheen Bagh in the national capital in December-March, was seen in the ongoing farmers' protest in Delhi as well, for a price of Rs 100.
Though Kangana had deleted the tweet, many Punjabi celebrities like Prince Narula, Sargun Mehta, Himanshi Khurana and others slammed her for sharing bogus claims. Singer-actor Diljit Dosanjh also called out the Panga star for misidentifying the elderly woman at the farmers' protest. A Punjab-based lawyer also sent a legal notice to Kangana for the tweet and has demanded a public apology.
Diljit Also Called Kangana For Her Anti Protest Tweets
After Diljit's tweet, the two continued a day-long Twitter spat calling each other names. Now, the Manikarnika star took to Twitter to clarify the misconceptions. She started by saying that she supports farmers and has stood up for them in the past.

"I am with farmers, last year I activity promoted agroforestry and donated for the cause as well, I have been vocal about farmers exploitation and their problems also I worry a lot so prayed for resolves in this sector, which finally happened with this revolutionary bill," Kangana's tweet read.
In a thread, she added that the government will address all the doubts on the overrated issue, and people should not "let any communists hijack your protests".
