Kanganat’s Twitter account was permanently suspended on Tuesday after she posted controversial comments on the recent West Bengal post-poll violence.
In the statement released by Twitter, it said that the account suspension has been done due to the repeated violations of Twitter Rules specifically their hateful conduct policy and abusive behaviour policy.
After the suspension of her account, Ranaut commented, “Twitter has only proved my point they’re Americans & by birth, a white person feels entitled to enslave a brown person, they want to tell you what to think, speak or do. I have many platforms I can use to raise my voice, including my own art in the form of cinema”.
