TIWN
New Delhi, Sep 12 (TIWN) Hours after the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) demolished the office of Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut in Mumbai, many organisations came out in her support and the Himachali Mitr Mandal approached the National Commission of Women and the Centre to intervene in the matter.
The Himachal Mitr Mandal (HMM), the apex organisation of the people of Himachal Pradesh settled in Delhi-NCR areas requested the NCW and the Centre to "intervene and stop atrocities being done by Mahahrastra government and the ruling Shiv Sena on Ranaut", who belongs to the hill state of Himachal Pradesh .
The reactions came after the BMC on Wednesday started demolishing the actress' Bandra property for alleged unauthorised modifications and extensions. The actress had tweeted photographs of the BMC demolishing and had also reacted to it.
The Bombay High Court later passed a stay order on the demolition.
Perturbed by the uproar over the BMC move, the Shiv Sena leadership on Wednesday barred its members from protesting against Ranaut to avoid a sympathy wave for her, even as the actress fired a fresh salvo at the government, this time targeting Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray personally.
Chanderkanta, President of HMM Delhi in a statement condemned the "goondaism" done by ruling Shiv Sena workers at Mumbai airport threatening security of Ranaut and intimidating her on her arrival in the city while the state government law enforcing agencies remain mute spectators before the unsocial elements of Shiv Sena.
Chanderkanta asked the Mumbai-based migrant Himachali workers and associations to stand united for the actress, and "support the issues and causes which are very relevant in today's scenario".
