Bollywood actress and newly elected MP Kangana Ranaut made headlines on Thursday after being slapped by a CISF guard at the Chandigarh airport. The incident occurred as Ranaut was on her way to New Delhi when Kulwinder Kaur, a CISF constable, slapped her at the security check and hurled abuses at her.
Following the incident, Ranaut took to social media to assure her followers that she was safe and questioned the growing terrorism in Punjab. The CISF constable was later arrested and suspended from her job for attacking Ranaut over her comments on the farmers’ protest in 2021-22.
The incident sparked a flurry of reactions on the internet, with some mocking Ranaut and others condemning the violence. Political leaders and actors also weighed in on the incident with varied reactions.
Ranaut recounted the incident in a video, stating that the CISF guard attacked her and verbally abused her, citing her support for the farmers’ protest. The guard, identified as Kulwinder Kaur, referenced Ranaut’s previous comments on the protest during the altercation.
While some may find Ranaut’s comments on the farmers’ protest controversial, it is important to remember that in a democratic society, everyone has the right to express their opinions. Violence should never be the solution to disagreements, and there are legal avenues to address grievances. Ranaut’s slapgate incident serves as a reminder of the importance of civil discourse and respect for differing viewpoints in a democratic society.
