Delhi CM honours elderly woman protester mocked by Kangana
Description
Bathinda: Woman farmer Mohinder Kaur (75), who had hogged the limelight after actor Kangana Ranaut had called her Bilkis Bano of Shaheen Bagh fame and claumed that she could be rented to protest for Rs 100 a day, was honoured by Delhi chief minister Arvind Kejriwal at a function organised by Delhi Commission for Women to mark International Women’s Day on Monday. Kejriwal and commission chairperson paid respects to Mohinder. Earlier, Mohinder had filed a defamation suit against Kangana at a Bathinda court and had addressed the ongoing farmers protest at Tikri border from the stage of farm organisation BKU (Ekta Ugrahan). Belonging to Fatehgarh Jandia village, Mohinder was spotted in November 2020, while attending a farm protest at Sangat village in Bathinda. Kangana had later deleted the tweet, but still had an argument on Twitter with singer and actor Diljit Dosanjh over the issue. Mohinder, while addressing the protest at Tikri on January 6, had said the respect she got was unforgettable and this had made her struggle till her last breath.
