Kangana Ranaut Slapped: Kulwinder Kaur, the CISF officer who slapped Kangana Ranaut.
Chandigarh:
Kulwinder Kaur, the safety officer who allegedly slapped new BJP Lok Sabha MP Kangana Ranaut at Chandigarh airport, stated she had been triggered by an outdated comment by the actor concerning the farmers protest. “She gave a press release… that farmers are sitting there for Rs 100. Will she go and sit there? My mom was sitting there and protesting when she gave this assertion…”
Ms Kaur – who reportedly comes from a household of farmers – has been suspended and faces a police case. She stated she had reacted to Kangana Ranaut – who received Himachal Pradesh’s Mandi seat and was going to Delhi – of “disrespecting farmers”.
After reaching Delhi Ms Ranaut raged about “terrorism rising in Punjab”.
“The incident occurred on the safety check-in. The lady guard waited for me to cross. She then got here and hit me… began throwing expletives. I requested (her) why she hit me. She stated, ‘I assist farmers’. I’m protected… however my concern is terrorism is rising in Punjab. How can we deal with that?” she stated in her message.

Ms Kaur, a Constable within the Central Industrial Safety Pressure, or CISF, was referring to a crude and broadly criticised jibe Ms Ranaut posted on X (then Twitter) in 2020 through the peak of a nationwide protest by farmers in opposition to three farm legal guidelines handed, below contentious circumstances, by the centre.
In a social media submit Ms Ranaut had tweeted about an aged girl seen at one of many protests and stated she was “obtainable for Rs 100”. She was pressured to delete the tweet after public outrage.

Ms Ranaut additionally made headlines in February 2021 after worldwide pop star Rihanna appeared to criticise the BJP authorities over the farmers’ protest and stated, “Why aren’t we speaking about this?”
To this, Ms Ranaut had responded, “Nobody is speaking about it as a result of they aren’t farmers, they’re terrorists who’re making an attempt to divide India, in order that China can take over our susceptible damaged nation and make it a Chinese language colony very similar to the USA… Sit down you idiot, we aren’t promoting our nation such as you dummies.”
Ms Kangana later deleted that submit too.
The farmers’ protest that erupted in 2020/21 – and has rumbled on since, doubtlessly costing the BJP key seats within the 2024 Lok Sabha election – made headlines each within the nation and overseas.
