Sona Mohapatra Faces Backlash For Opposing Rangoli Chandel’s Twitter Suspension; Says ‘Don’t Need Character Certificate From You Jokers’
Sona Mohapatra faced backlash after she opposed Kangana Ranaut’s sister Rangoli Chandel’s Twitter suspension, saying she doesn’t believe in cancel culture and everyone has the right to express their views
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 🧚🏿♀️🔴

I have friends & well-wishers sending me their opinion on the same & trying to tell me to think differently. Here’s the thing, I don’t follow Rangoli Chandel’s handle & have been personally vilified by her in the past too. I feel this 👇🏾 for a number of reasons - (1) https://t.co/A9leXKZLxk

-We live in a deeply polarised world where one side just refuses to listen in to the other. That’s the worst formula for any progress.

- Twitter could ‘force delete’ her hideously worded tweet. (Which I just saw)
- ‘Canceling’ her all together only invites more such hate. https://t.co/lO6qfMM6b5
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
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 https://t.co/3Mldl0u5ZW

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

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.
