Actor Kangana Ranaut has been summoned by the Delhi assembly’s panel on peace and harmony over her remarks against Sikhs, sources have said. Ms Ranaut has been told to appear before the committee headed by Aam Aadmi Party leader Raghav Chadha on December 6.
Ms Ranaut has been summoned over her “derogatory remarks on Sikhs”, sources have said.
“The committee has received numerous complaints eliciting inter alia, outrageously offensive and derogatory Instagram stories/posts allegedly published by yourself on 20.11.2021 over your official Instagram account…” the committee said in a notice signed by its deputy secretary to Ms Ranaut.
The summons document said Ms Ranaut’s “blanketly labelling (Sikhs) as Khalistani terrorists… has the potential to engender disharmony as well as cause wounding humiliation to the entire Sikh community.”
The actor also faces a first information report, or FIR, in Mumbai filed by Sikhs for using derogatory language against them on social media.
