Shiv Sena's top leader Pratap Sarnaik moved a breach of privilege motion over a tweet by actor Kangana Ranaut on Monday. Kangana had slammed Pratap on the reports revealed by CNN News 18 that the Enforcement Directorate (ED) has recovered a credit card registered under the name of a Pakistani national from the premises of the Shiv Sena legislator. The Pakistani credit card is registered on the address of Pratap Sarnaik.
On this Kangana slammed the Shiv Sena leader and wrote, "He had threatened to break my face when I had said Mumbai was feeling like POK. India recognise those who are staking everything for you and those who are taking everything from you. Where you place your faith their lies your future. India Pakistan na ban jaye sambhalo yaaron."
Now, going by the media reports, Sarnaik has moved a breach of privilege motion over a tweet by actor Kangana Ranaut. The senior Shiv Sena leader has submitted a letter to the principal secretary of the state legislature, Sarnaik sought breach of privilege motion against the print, electronic and social media for allegedly publishing false stories based on Ranaut’s tweet. While Sarnaik has named Ranaut and quoted her tweet, the legislator has not named any media outlet in his letter.
The Sena legislator, in the letter, said that electronic media and print media outlets ran unverified news stating that a Pakistani credit card was allegedly found at his place by Enforcement Directorate (ED) during their searches, leading to defamation of his family.

Ironically, it was Sarnaik who had moved the same motion against Republic TV Editor-in-Chief Arnab Goswami. The question arises that Sarnaik has only named Kangana in the motion while he skipped naming the media house which first broke the news.
“ED called me and my son for inquiry and we are cooperating with ED and there is no issue... But after Kangana’s tweet, some electronic media and print media published news on December 12 and 13 against me that were defaming and baseless as ED has officially said nothing about seizures in their raids,” Sarnaik said.
