Day after actor Kangana Ranaut demanded security for the Himachal Pradesh police, saying she is “more scared of the Mumbai police” and compared Mumbai to Pakistan-occupied Kashmir (PoK), the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) slammed her and said she should not teach Mumbai, Maharashtra or its people how to behave.
BJP MLA Ashish Shelar said the party does not agree with Kangana Ranaut’s statement on the state or its capital, Mumbai.
Speaking with India Today TV, Ashish Shelar said, “We do not support the statement of Kangana Ranaut on Mumbai. We are seeing how Sushant Singh death inquiry is on and even before final findings are out all sorts of efforts are being made to take it to some other direction by some leaders.”
“We are clear in our position. Kangana Ranaut shouldn’t try to teach Mumbai, Maharashtra and its people how to behave,” he said.
“We also request Sanjay Raut not to try and attack BJP and misdirect the investigation of Sushant Singh Rajput among the people. We also want to tell Sanjay Raut to stop deviating attention,” Ashish Shelar said.
On Thursday, Kangana Ranaut alleged on Twitter that Sanjay Raut, a Rajya Sabha member, had threatened her openly and asked her not to return to Mumbai.
“Sanjay Raut Shiv Sena leader has given me an open threat and asked me not to come back to Mumbai after Aazadi graffitis in Mumbai streets and now open threats, why Mumbai is feeling like Pakistan occupied Kashmir?” Kangana Ranaut posted on Twitter.
Thank you for your concern sir, I am actually more scared of Mumbai police now than movie mafia goons, in Mumbai I would need security either from HP government or directly from the Centre, No Mumbai police please https://t.co/cXEcn8RrdV

Following which, Sanjay Raut said the actor Kangana Ranaut should approach the police with evidence and prove that he threatened her rather than “playing on Twitter”.
On August 30, Kangana Ranaut had said that she is “scared of Mumbai police than the movie mafia goons” and demanded security for either Himachal police or the Centre to expose the Bollywood-Drug mafia nexus.
“I am actually more scared of Mumbai police now than movie mafia goons, in Mumbai I would need security either from HP government or directly from the Centre, No Mumbai police please,” Kangana Ranaut said.
Kangana Ranaut has been lashing out at the cliques and nepotism in Bollywood since the death of actor Sushant Singh Rajput.
