PATNA: State lawyers’ cell president of Rashtriya Lok Samata Party (RLSP) Shyam Bihari Singh on Friday filed a complaint case in the Patna civil court against Bollywood actor Kangana Ranaut for retweeting a “derogatory and insulting” tweet against party president Upendra Kushwaha.
Another complaint case was filed by RLSP general secretary Vinay Kushwaha against Kangana in the Gaya civil court on Thursday. The party’s legal cells in all the 38 districts across the state will lodge cases against the actor in the days to come, RLSP chief spokesman Afzal Imam Malik said.
Twitter India has also been named in the two cases. Kangana had retweeted the tweet of one “YoYo Funny Singh’ in which Kushwaha had been presented in an insulting and derogatory manner on December 3, party spokesman Bhola Sharma said. The photograph of an election rally addressed by Kushwaha was attached with the tweet. Kushwaha was dubbed as member of the ‘tukde tukde’ gang.
RLSP spokesman Malik said Kangana attempted to put RLSP in poor light and hurt the sentiments of lakhs of party workers.
Reacting to Kangana’s retweet, Kushawaha had tweeted, “You will get entry into the ‘pathshaalaa (middle school)’ of politics, as you have misused the photo of an election rally organised by the RLSP. Kangana ji, why do you have such a little understanding (sic).”
