In a video posted on X (formerly Twitter), the Bollywood actress claimed that "bodies were seen hanging and rapes were occurring" during the protests against the now-repealed farm laws.
Digital Desk: The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) on Monday distanced itself from Kangana Ranaut's comments on the farmers' agitation and urged the Mandi MP to avoid making such statements in the future.
The BJP expressed its disagreement with Ranaut's remarks, stating that she is not authorized to comment on policy matters. The party reaffirmed its commitment to social harmony through its principles of ‘Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas, and Sabka Prayas.’
Earlier, Ranaut sparked controversy by suggesting that the farmers' protests could have led to a situation similar to Bangladesh if the government had not intervened. In a video posted on X (formerly Twitter), the Bollywood actress claimed that "bodies were seen hanging and rapes were occurring" during the protests against the now-repealed farm laws.
She also accused "outside forces" and the vested interests of "insiders" of prolonging the protests, asserting that the government's foresight prevented a worse outcome.
In response, Punjab BJP leader Harjit Grewal stated, as quoted by NDTV, that Ranaut's comments were personal and not aligned with the BJP's stance on farmers. He emphasized that PM Modi and the BJP are supportive of farmers and criticized the opposition for using Ranaut's remarks to undermine them.
Meanwhile Congress leader Randeep Singh Surjewala has posted on X wishing the BJP MP to "Get well soon Kangana!". He asked, “Why do BJP people hate the country's food providers so much?, “ Were these just Kangana's words or did someone else copy them?”
"After all, why do BJP people hate the country's food providers so much? BJP has always lied, deceived, conspired and oppressed our farmers.
And once again a BJP MP has made baseless allegations against our food providers.
The question is that..Has Kangana made this cheap allegation on the farmer as per BJP's election strategy? Were these just Kangana's words or did someone else copy them?
If not, then why are the Prime Minister of the country, the Chief Minister of Haryana and all the BJP MPs and MLAs silent on this issue?" Surjewala said in a post.
