On Thursday, some of the tweets by actress Kangana Ranaut were deleted by the microblogging site, Twitter, which stated that the posts were in violation of their rules.

The move by the digital platform comes after the actress went on a rant against international pop sensation Rihanna for supporting the ongoing farmers protest. Kangana called Rihanna a porn singer, a "porn star", and a Left Wing role model.

The two tweets, which were deleted, were related to the farmer protests.

In one of the now-deleted tweets, reacting to a video featuring Canadian parliamentarian Jagmeet Singh talking about Rihanna following him on social media, Kangana wrote, "This terrorist is porn singer @rihanna's friend... he is accused of funding terroristic activities. There is a Khalistan in his head also. A porn star followed him and that's his biggest achievement #IndiaTogether #IndiaAgaistPropoganda."

Her tweet came in response to a user who shared the video and wrote, "Jagmeet Singh who is accused of terror funding praising & showing off his friendship with Rihanna. Now you can understand how Rihanna got the 'motivation' for tweet supporting Farmer."

Meanwhile, one tweet, considered derogatory and pulled down by the platform, was one where she referred to several Indian cricketers as "Dhobi ka Kutta". The other one pulled down was for Bollywood actress Taapsee Pannu.

On Tuesday, Rihanna had taken to her Twitter handle and shared a news story on the internet shutdown in several districts of Delhi's neighbouring state Haryana after protestors broke barricades to enter New Delhi and clashed with police in several parts of the national capital during the January 26 'tractor rally' protest organised by farmers. The protestors also entered the iconic Mughal Era monument Red Fort and unfurled their flags from its ramparts.

Later, on Wednesday, Taapsee had tweeted in support of Rihanna and taken an indirect jibe at Kangana. 

Taapsee wrote in her tweet, "If one tweet rattles your unity, one joke rattles your faith or one show rattles your religious belief then it's you who has to work on strengthening your value system not become 'propaganda teacher' for others (sic)."

Kangana commented in Hindi, "Teri maa ko main gali doon it will rattle your belief dumbo? National platforms pe uska apman karu... I know you will strengthen your love not do anything tabhi toh tere jaise dusaron ki rotiyon pe palne wale paltu hote hain...kabhi kuch aur nahin ban pate, chup kar aab. (Will it rattle your belief if I hurl abuses at your mother, dumbo? What if I insult her on national platforms? I know you will strengthen your love not do anything and that's why people like you depend on others for their bread, just like pets. They cannot become anything else ever, so you better keep shut)."

The above-mentioned tweet by Kangana, using abusive language was pulled down by Twitter. 

Soon after, Twitter sent out a statement opening up about their move.

"We have taken action on Tweets that were in violation of the Twitter Rules in line with our range of enforcement options," said a Twitter spokesperson.

Back in January, Kangana had shared that her Twitter account had been restricted temporarily.

It came after she made controversial remarks about creators of the web series Tandav through a post. In the now-deleted tweet, Kangana had said that it was "time to take their heads off", for allegedly insulting Hindu gods.
