Twitter expressed their concerns about the threat to free speech and suggested new IT rules were impeding the free flow of conversation. After her suspension, Kangana reacted in a statement. Her response to the Twitter statement was surprising, but still enlightening. The reason behind her suspension? Read on to find out more. We have gathered some information from various sources to shed some light on this topic.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Suspension\"><\/span>Suspension<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Despite her huge popularity, Kangana Ranaut has not shied away from expressing her opinion. On her Twitter page, she has frequently taken pot shots at politicians and A-listers and has shared some very strong personal views. In the past, she has even compared the Maharashtra state government to the Taliban and discussed the wrong way to use oxygen plants. After a recent controversy in West Bengal, Kangana Ranaut suspended her Twitter account. But how can a celebrity take her Twitter account back?<\/p>\n<p>The Twitter community is not happy with Kangana&#8217;s behaviour. The actress&#8217;s account was suspended permanently because of repeated violations of its terms and conditions. Her tweets have triggered outrage, as some of them sounded like calls for violence. Immediately following the suspension, Kangana responded with a video on Instagram where she demanded President&#8217;s rule in West Bengal. While the actress has apologised for her tweets, it&#8217;s still not clear why Twitter has suspended her account.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Violations_of_rules\"><\/span>Violations of rules<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Kangana Ranaut has been suspended from Twitter after making inflammatory comments about West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee. After the film&#8217;s release, Ranaut went on a Twitter rampage, calling farmers protesting the decision to demolish the BJP-ruled state a &#8220;group of terrorists&#8221;. In a separate incident, she spat with Punjabi actor Diljit Dosanjh and claimed that West Bengal had turned violent after the TMC&#8217;s election victory. These tweets were deleted by Twitter after she was warned for violating the rules.<\/p>\n<p>Following Rihanna&#8217;s tweets, Bollywood stars and sports personalities began to comment on the incident. Many claimed that these celebrities were paid to speak on behalf of farmers. Meanwhile, Ranaut has repeatedly called Rihanna a &#8220;sasta copy&#8221; and dragged the actor&#8217;s mother into the conversation. Ranaut has also been slated for comments that criticised her sister&#8217;s mother.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Reactions_to_suspension\"><\/span>Reactions to suspension<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>There is no clear reason behind Kangana Ranaut&#8217;s suspension from Twitter. While the actor has been warned several times to stop using the platform, her verified account has over 3 million followers, and she does not seem to be an anonymous troll. However, this latest tweet seems to be the clincher. Twitter has stated that permanent suspension is the strictest policy it enforces. Regardless of the reason, Kangana&#8217;s suspension has garnered quite the ire.<\/p>\n<p>After the Twitter suspension, the actress posted an emotional video message about the current political situation in West Bengal. The actress&#8217;s followers reacted with outrage. She has apologized for her comments and said she has many other outlets for her views. The actress has over three million followers on Twitter and has been active on Instagram since December 2016.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Reasons_for_suspension\"><\/span>Reasons for suspension<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The Bollywood actress has been suspended permanently from Twitter, for making objectionable comments. In a video she posted on Instagram, she called liberal international media outlets conspirators against India. The account of Kangana Ranaut&#8217;s sister Rangoli was also suspended last year. Apparently, the actor did not realize that her tweets had such a big impact, so she removed them. But now, a few days after her suspension, Ranaut is back on Twitter.<\/p>\n<p>In a tweet, Ranaut criticised Indian police officer D Roopa Moudgil, calling her a &#8220;shame on the face of the police force.&#8221; She also demanded her suspension. The spat started after Ranaut reacted to a report made by the news site True Indology, which had investigated the connection between Diwali and firecrackers. In the wake of the incident, Moudgil has been suspended from Twitter and the BJP has also responded to her tweets.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Restore_Kangana\"><\/span>Restore Kangana<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>In a tweet, Kangana Ranaut has asked the Prime Minister of India, Narendra Modi, to &#8220;tame&#8221; opposition leader Mamata Banerjee. She also referred to the 2002 violence in Gujarat, where thousands of people were killed. Modi has been given a clean chit by critics, but he is still held accountable by liberals for allowing thousands of people to die in the province.<\/p>\n<p>In the meantime, her fans have flooded Twitter with messages urging the social networking website to restore her account. While some fans are enraged by the decision, others are glad to see Kangana Ranaut&#8217;s account restored. Twitter has removed her tweets for violating their policies. There are also several instances of Twitter suspending another account in which someone has publicly criticized a public figure. A person who has a history of vitriolic posts should be made aware of their actions before expressing their views on social media.<\/p>\n<p> <iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/s3GmuZIe_2A\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"455\" height=\"254\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" style=\"margin:0px auto; display: block;\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Why Has Kangana Ranaut Been Banned From Twitter?
