"Read on my timeline that the Rangoli Chandel-Kangana Ranaut handle has been suspended by @twitter? While I might not subscribe to all their views, I also stand by their right to express themselves. Let's not be so politically correct and quick to be offended (sic)."

Just read on my timeline that the ‘Rangoli Chandel-Kangana Ranaut’ handle has been suspended by @twitter ? While I might not subscribe to all their views,I also stand by their right to express them.Let’s not be so ‘politically correct’ & quick to be offended dear #WokeSabha u00f0u009fu00a7u009au00f0u009fu008fu00bf‍u00e2u0099u0080u00efu00b8u008fu00f0u009fu0094u00b4

Soon after, Mohapatra received flak from a section of netizens for her tweet supporting Chandel.

Sona further explained her stand saying, "I have friends & well-wishers sending me their opinion on the same & trying to tell me to think differently. Here's the thing, I don’t follow Rangoli Chandel's handle & have been personally vilified by her in the past too. I feel this for a number of reasons - We live in a deeply polarised world where one side just refuses to listen in to the other. That's the worst formula for any progress. Twitter could 'force delete' her hideously worded tweet. (Which I just saw). 'Canceling' her all together only invites more such hate."
