Shiv Sena legislator Pratap Sarnaik, who is being probed by the Enforcement Directorate (ED), on Monday moved a breach of privilege motion against Bollywood actor Kangana Ranaut, for defaming him and his family, by tweeting that he was in possession of a Pakistani credit card. The MLA has also made media houses defendant in the motion for giving publicity to the actor's 'baseless' tweets.

Sarnaik and his sons have been summoned by the ED in a financial case against a security firm. The Supreme Court has given the family relief by restraining the ED from arresting them. The MLA, his party and the constituents of the three-party government have accused the Centre of vendetta politics against the opposition leaders.
