The back-and-forth between Kangana Ranaut and the Shiv Sena doesn’t show any signs of dying out. A day after the actor took a parting shot at the Shiv Sena as she headed back to Manali in Himachal Pradesh, the Shiv Sena responded with a veiled dig at the actor in an editorial of its mouthpiece Saamana, saying people on social media appeared to be ‘out of control’.
The Saamana editorial asked if those “seemingly out of control on social media” will show some maturity, a veiled reference to the outspoken actor.
Social media is being used in a systematic fashion to show Mumbai and Maharashtra in poor light, the editorial in party mouthpiece Saamana said, adding that no field is left untouched by “gossiping on social media”.
“Most of the people active on social media aren’t responsible. Will those who seemingly are out of control on social media show some maturity?” It said.
The Sena jab at Kangana Ranaut comes a day after the actor tweeted that she is “leaving” Mumbai and repeated her remark likening Mumbai to Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK).
“With a heavy heart leaving Mumbai, the way I was terrorised all these days constant attacks and abuses hurled at me attempts to break my house after my work place, alert security with lethal weapons around me, must say my analogy about POK was bang on,” she tweeted on Monday.
The Sena editorial added that social media is being used in a systematic fashion to bring Mumbai and Maharashtra in poor light and just someone takes exception to these comments, people allege that their freedom of expression is being curbed.
