He said that "secularism must be a two-way street" and called for fairness in how such cases are a post on X (formerly Twitter), Pawan Kalyan said, "During Operation Sindoor , Sharmishta, who is a law student, spoke out. Her words were regrettable and hurt some people. She accepted her mistake, deleted the video, and apologised. The West Bengal Police acted quickly and took action against her. But what about the deep pain caused when elected leaders and MPs from TMC mock Sanatana Dharma? Where is the outrage when our faith is insulted and called 'Gandha Dharm'? Where is their apology? Where is their swift arrest?"He added, "Blasphemy should always be condemned! Secularism is not a shield for some and a weapon for others. It must work both ways. West Bengal Police, the nation is watching. Please act justly for everyone."Actress and BJP MP Kangana Ranaut also spoke out in support of Sharmishta Panoli. She urged the authorities to release the 22-year-old influencer, who was sent to judicial custody by a Kolkata court after her arrest in Gurugram , said, "Harassing someone in the name of law and order is not right. She apologised and deleted the post, yet she is being put in prison, tortured, her career ruined, and her character questioned. This should never happen to any daughter."She added, "I urge the West Bengal government not to turn the state into North Korea. Everyone has democratic rights. She has apologised for her comments, which were general and in the kind of language today's generation uses normally, both in English and Hindi. She should be released soon because she is very young and has her whole career and life ahead of her."Sharmishta Panoli, a law student from Pune, Maharashtra, was arrested by Kolkata Police on Friday night from Gurugram.

‘Don't Make West Bengal A North Korea': Kangana Urges Mamata Govt To Release Sharmishta Panoli
Kangana Ranuat has come out in strong support of law student Sharmishta Panoli who was arrested for her alleged communal remarks online. Bharatiya Janata Party MP Kangana Ranaut on Sunday urged the West Bengal government to release 22-year-old law student Sharmishta Panoli, who was arrested by Kolkata Police for her alleged communal remarks online. She said that the Mamata Banerjee government should not try to turn West Bengal into 'North Korea". The influencer, who was quite vocal during Operation Sindoor against Pakistan, used strong language against some Bollywood actors for their silence during India's military operation against terrorists on the other side of the border. She deleted the video on May 15 and issued an unconditional apology, however, the Kolkata Police arrested her from Gurugram on Friday based on a complaint. She was sent to 14-day judicial custody. 'Harassing someone in the name of law and order is not good. When someone has apologised and deleted the post, but putting her in prison, torturing her, ending her career, and raising questions on her character is very wrong. This should not happen with any daughter," Kangana told news agency ANI. 'I urge the West Bengal government not to try to make the state into North Korea. Everyone has democratic rights. She has apologised for her indecent remarks. She had said everything in general and today's generation uses such language very normally- both in English and in Hindi. She should be released soon because she is a very young woman. She has her whole career and life ahead of her," the actor added. Notably, North Korea is ruled by Kim Jong Un, a dictator. Since her arrest, the influencer has garnered online support and backing from several leaders, including from the BJP and the Netherlands. The BJP questioned Mamata over the 'quick action" by her police against Panoli ever after her apology and asked if the state police would arrest TMC leaders who made controversial remarks for the Hindu community. 'Sharmistha Panoli, just 22 years old, has been arrested and sent to 14-day judicial custody over a video she had already deleted and publicly apologised for on May 15. There have been no reports of communal unrest linked to her remarks, yet the Kolkata Police is acting with uncharacteristic haste. This is no longer about law and order — it is about selective enforcement," BJP IT cell chief Amit Malviya posted on X. First Published:
