‘Dont turn Bengal into North Korea’: Kangana Ranaut slams TMC over influencer’s arrest
“Harassing someone in the name of law and order is not good. When someone has apologised and deleted the post, but putting her in prison, torturing her, ending her career and raising questions on her character is very wrong,” Ranaut told reporters.
In a pointed comparison, Ranaut said, “I urge the West Bengal government not to try to make the state into North Korea."

Urging Panoli’s immediate release, Ranaut condemned her arrest as an act of political overreach.
“Harassing someone in the name of law and order is not good. When someone has apologised and deleted the post, but putting her in prison, torturing her, ending her career and raising questions on her character is very wrong,” Ranaut told reporters.
In a pointed comparison, Ranaut said, “I urge the West Bengal government not to try to make the state into North Korea. Everyone has democratic rights. She has apologised for her indecent remarks. She had said everything in general and today’s generation uses such language very normally- both in English and in Hindi.”
