Kangana Ranaut’s Twitter Shut After Controversial Remarks

Once again, Queen star Kangana Ranaut has come under fire after Twitter moved to permanently suspend her account following controversial remarks on violence erupted after election results in West Bengal. 

The reason behind suspending Kangana’s handle was violation of Twitter’s policy regarding hateful conduct and abusive behavior.

Taking to her Twitter account, Kangana had urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to “tame” Mamata Banerjee using his “Virat Roop” from “early 2000s” in Bengal.

Twitter has only proved my point they’re Americans & by birth, a white person feels entitled to enslave a brown person, they want to tell you what to think, speak or do.
