The MLA further claimed the actress had also compared Mumbai to ‘Taliban’.
“Ranaut had compared Mumbai to PoK (Pakistan Occupied Kashmir). She also said that she didn’t trust Mumbai Police. She also compared Mumbai to Taliban,” Sarnaik pointed out.
The Shiv Sena lawmaker said various sections like citizens, political leaders and social workers are enraged by Ranaut’s remarks. They have have sought action against her, but nothing happened so far.
“Elected representatives like me are sad that a girl from another state comes to Mumbai to become an actress. She earns name and fame here. In return she maligns the image of the city. But still no action is taken against her. She has continuously tweeted against Mumbai and Maharashtra,” Sarnaik stated in his letter.
The Sena leader, represents Ovala-Majiwada constituency in Thane. He alleged Ranaut had accused many film personalities of consuming drugs. However, ‘some actors have accused her of being on drugs’.
