Rangoli Chandel Twitter Suspension Leaves Celebs Divided; Babita Phogat, Kubbra Sait, Sona Mohapatra React

On 16^th April, Kangana Ranaut’s sister Rangoli Chandel’s Twitter handle was suspended after she expressed her views on Tablighi Jamaat in a reportedly offensive tweet. She was accused of encouraging communal hatred and violence by many celebrities and a screenshot of her tweet soon went viral on social media. Well, netizens now stand divided on this controversy and have different opinions of the same. While some feel that Rangoli ‘deserves’ this, others feel she has the right to express and suspending her account is an incorrect step.

Many celebrities took to their official handles to share their thoughts about the whole situation after news of Rangoli’s twitter suspension began doing the rounds. Jewelry designer and Sussanne Khan’s sister Farah Khan Ali revealed that she reported the account and is thankful to Twitter for taking this decision, whereas filmmaker Reema Kagti told Bollywood Hungama that she hopes Twitter bans Rangoli’s account permanently. In a chat with the same portal, actress Kubbra Sait also stated that when you have so many followers, it’s important to conduct yourself and your words with responsibility.

On the other hand, singer Sona Mohapatra was displeased with Twitter for taking this action. She shared, “While I might not subscribe to all their views,I also stand by their right to express them.” After facing backlash, she shared another post in which she called Rangoli’s tweet ‘hideous’ but also added that the tweet could have been ‘forced deleted’. Wrestler turned politician Babita Kumari Phogat also sided with Kangana’s sister and said that Twitter has started getting angry with people who speak the truth.

According to the buzz, advocate Ali Kaashif Khan has now filed a complaint against Rangoli, calling her tweet a ‘cheap publicity stunt.’ What is your take on this controversy?
