As Kangana Ranaut’s comments courted controversy, Delhi Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia responded to the actress through a series of tweets.

At the trailer launch of her upcoming film Panga on Monday, Kangana said, “We’re still hooked to the pre-Independence era, where our country was under siege or bondage, and people had captured us by force or the gun. Going on strikes, shutting down the country or not paying taxes against those people was considered cool,” quoted a Hindustan Times report.

Further speaking against the anti- CAA (Citizenship Amendment Act) protests across the country, Kangana said, “What gives you the right to burn buses, trains and create ruckus in the country? A bus costs around Rs 70-80 lakh, and that is not a small amount.”

After her tax comments went viral, Manish Sisodia took to his official Twitter handle to respond to Kangana.

Sisodia explained that even a daily wage earner also has to pay indirect taxes, if not direct. He said, “Violence and damage to public property is wrong in every situation, it is against both humanity and law. ..But this country is not dependent on tax of only 3 per cent people. Every person in the country pays a tax, from a daily wage worker, even a daily wage labourer to a billionaire.”

In the second tweet that Sisodia put out in Hindi, he said that a daily wage labourer who buys salt or match-box in markets also contributes to the tax of the country.

He further added, “And yes! Even a normal daily wage labourer… when going to the cinema… contributes to the coffers of the movie stars and even pays (entertainment) tax for this country. Now think who is dependent on whom?”

Kangana’s sister Rangoli Chandel was quick to respond to Sisodia’s tweets. She asked him not to twist her statements and wrote, “Sir ji Kangana is clearly talking about income tax here, please don’t twist her statements, either way, please don’t burn public property.”

“If you use highways pay toll tax or buy salt and pay tax that’s not income tax, please know if you use resources you pay cos government is cultivating it from collective money…(contd)” she further added.
