A ray of hope has finally emerged for Kangana Ranaut as the Himachal Pradesh government has accepted the demand to provide police protection to the Bollywood actress.
Himachal Pradesh Chief Minister Jai Ram Thakur in an interaction with the media said, "Kangana is the daughter of Himachal Pradesh and a celebrity too. It's our duty to give her security. I have told the Director-General of police Sanjay Kundu to take steps accordingly."
Jai Ram also said that Kangana's sister Rangoli Chandel and her father formally wrote to the Himachal Pradesh police, requesting security for the actress.
"Kangana Ranaut's father has given in writing asking for police protection. I've directed DGP in this regard. She'll be provided security here. We are also discussing what can be done to provide security to her outside HP as she is leaving for Mumbai on 9th September," added Jai Ram.
Kangana Ranaut has given an open challenge to the Shiv Sena that she will be visiting Mumbai on September 9 and no one can stop her. On the other hand, the Shiv Sena has hinted that they will stop her from coming irrespective of the law. Even Maharashtra Home Minister Anil Deshmukh said, "Mumbai Police is compared to Scotland Yard. Some people are trying to target Mumbai Police. An IPS officer has gone to court against this...After, her (#KanganaRanaut's) comparison of Mumbai Police...she has no right to live in Maharashtra or Mumbai."
On the other hand, she got support from Haryana Home Minister Anil Vij. He said, "Is it (Mumbai) anyone father's property? Mumbai is a part of India and anyone can go there. Action should be taken against people who issue such statements. You can't stop someone from speaking the truth."
