Kangana Ranaut’s sister Rangoli Chandel’s Twitter account has been suspended. Rangoli was really vocal about her views on Twitter and she put them out fearlessly without bothering about anything. Singer Sona Mohapatra was seen opposing this suspension for which she faced a lot of backlash, but she made sure to give everyone a piece of her mind.
After Rangoli’s account was suspended, the news grabbed headlines and that’s when Sona tweeted, “Just read on my timeline that the ‘Rangoli Chandel-Kangana Ranaut’ handle has been suspended by @twitter? While I might not subscribe to all their views, I also stand by their right to express them. Let’s not be so ‘politically correct’ & quick to be offended dear #WokeSabha (sic).”

What followed after this was a tsunami of tweets that slammed Sona for her opinion. People began to question her own views that she is known for. As one user wrote, “Why are ppl arguing with Sona, by now her views & sympathies should be clear for everybody.. Leave her alone… Apparently no amount of poison, hate & bigotry bothers her. Not even actual calls for violence. But she will stand up for FOE of a nazi. Must be an Indian ‘centrist’.”
To this, Sona replied saying that she does not need a character certificate from jokers. “Fortunately, I never followed the twitter handle you all seem to have been following. Also, I don’t need a twitter certification of character from you jokers. See your world as black & white. Your prerogative(sic).”

Dear Rangoli Haters & Champions of Wokedom,do read beyond a tweet before u come dancing giving me moral lectures laced with labels.That u have zero ability to listen to any other possible pov is sad. U have already made her a hero & increased the chances of more indignation-hate.

So this man doesn’t like my views on Rangoli Chandels suspension from twitter. He also has an issue with feminists. So should the ‘left’ feel let down? Or the ‘right’? Where does this ideology of his fit in? ??? https://t.co/InqgEJvCid

Feel free to unfollow me. I never aspired to live up to all your expectations or fandom. That you see a 140 character tweet of mine, no आगे पीछे context & term it as a promotion of ‘genocide’ make you pretty dumb. So not missing your ‘awe’ or ‘fandom’ in my life. ??? https://t.co/U79N5zuHdw

Yes it is.I saw that hideous tweet just now.The rape threats I get from people here with twitter letting the handles remain has made me believe that showcasing those morons helps more.
I do not believe in a cancel culture. As any kind of liberal I expect you to understand. https://t.co/xZixSmw0Yk— Sona Mohapatra (@sonamohapatra) April 16, 2020
The singer even asked these users to unfollow her if they don’t like her views or opinions.
