Amritsar, September 23

Taking note of the NSUI Amritsar’s protest against her recent remarks on farmer protests, actor Kangana Ranaut in tweet asked that why was she being targeted.

Re-tweeting Punjab Congress’s Twitter post, the actor wrote, "First Congress in Maharashtra threatened me and beat my posters with chappals now Congress in Punjab burning my effigies, seems like a clear case of mistaken identity. Am I some minister or a great opposition leader? Who they think I am? This is rather flattering @INCIndia."

The NSUI wing in city had held protest at Rattan Singh Chowk on Tuesday, led by NSUI Punjab president Akshay Sharma, who had also dared the actor to come to Punjab. The protests were held against her tweet about farmer protests against the new Bills. Akshay Sharma on Tuesday said Kangana had crossed all limits by "targeting the beleaguered farmers, labelling them as terrorists".

Leading a protest against the Bollywood actor’s recent comments on farmer protests, Akshay Sharma said, "She should be shameful for what she has said."

The members held a protest march and burned an effigy of Kangana while raising slogans against her. “Demeaning the farmer protests for their right is a despicable thing. We openly condemn her comments. These self-appointed guardians of society on Twitter who know nothing about anything need to be apprehended,” he added.
