Threatened for speaking against Deep Sidhu, says actor Sonia Mann
Description
BATHINDA: Actor Sonia Mann, who claims to have been camping at Tikri border in support of farmers protest, has alleged that she has got a threat call for speaking against Deep Sidhu after the happenings at Red Fort on Republic Day. Sonia (30) on Friday alleged that she got a call from a private number in which the person on the other side asked her not to speak against Deep or she would face dire consequences. Sonia said she was yet to file a police complaint and that officials should take note of her claims. “The happenings on Republic Day has defamed them (farmers). The Tricolor, which we had got after making many sacrifices by the likes of Bhagat Singh, Udham Singh, should be respected. Though we did nothing to lower the prestige of Tricolor, we were branded as anti-national only due to handiwork of some persons, including Deep Sidhu,” she said. Sonia’s father, Baldev Mann, was gunned down in Amritsar on September 26, 1990, when she was only 16 days old. Mann’s father was a left-wing activist and writer.
