Kangana backs suspended BJP spokesperson Nupur SharmaBy PTI Published: Published Date - 08:07 PM, Tue - 7 June 22Mumbai: Actor Kangana Ranaut on Tuesday voiced support for suspended BJP spokesperson Nupur Sharma, saying she was “entitled to her opinions” amid international condemnation over the politician’s controversial remarks on Prophet Mohammad. The BJP on Sunday suspended Sharma and expelled its Delhi unit media head Naveen Kumar Jindal as the row over their alleged derogatory remarks against Prophet Mohammad escalated with protests from some Muslim countries. The comments by Sharma and Jindal, in now-deleted tweets, sparked a Twitter trend calling for a boycott of Indian products in the Arab world. In a tweet alluding to the controversy, “Badhaai Do!” star Gushan Deviah said “freedom of speech can’t be absolute”. Actor Richa Chadha questioned if Sharma’s withdrawal of her comments could be even considered as an apology.
