Farmer movement could have created a situation like Bangladesh: Kangana Ranaut

Popular Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut was fielded by BJP from Mandi Lok Sabha constituency in Himachal Pradesh. Bhumikanya of Mandi also won the 2024 Lok Sabha polls. But gradually he is becoming a thorn in the neck of the party. His political comments one after the other have put the BJP in trouble. Eventually, the central leadership of the party was forced to say publicly that Kangana's comments were personal. There is no reason to think that those comments are from BJP.

Not only that, the team issued a statement and told the beauty not to open her mouth about anything. BJP has not given such a diagnosis to anyone in recent times. The party has barred him from opening his mouth for making ill-considered comments about the farmers' movement. Kangana never supported the farmers' movement demanding the repeal of the Agrarian Act.

The popular actress once said that the protesting farmers are 'terrorists'. Sometimes he said that the women participating in the movement sat on the stage with 100 taka. It is also alleged that he was slapped by a woman jawan on duty at the Chandigarh airport last June for this comment. Punitive action was also taken against the woman named Kulbinder Kaur for the same. Allegedly, the woman jawan, towards whom Kangana made the comment, is her mother. His mother participated in the peasant movement. He gave dharna day after day out of self-motivation, not for the greed of getting 100 rupees.

That Kangana got involved in the controversy by making another comment about the farmers' movement. He recently gave an interview to a popular Hindi daily. He posted a clipping of the interview on social media. He said, 'Farmers' movement could have created a situation like Bangladesh. But it did not happen due to the prudent leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.'

In that post, he wrote, 'Many incidents of rape occurred during the farmers' movement. Many bodies were found hanging.' He also said that the support of China and the United States was behind the farmers' movement. That was their plan.

The comment on social media has sparked the BJP's ire over the Haryana Assembly elections. Haryana assembly polls on October 1. BJP did not do well in Lok Sabha elections in that state. 5 out of 10 seats have gone to Congress. Even changing the Chief Minister did not help. The Congress has stepped up to take away the agricultural Haryana from the BJP. In this situation, Kangana's comments became dangerous for the BJP. To manage the situation, the BJP was forced to keep the party away from Kangana's comments. He was forbidden to open his mouth.

But Kangana's danger was not over, neither was BJP's. A resolution was passed in the Himachal Pradesh Assembly on Tuesday condemning Kangana's insensitive comments. The Congress is going to use Kangana's comments in the upcoming assembly polls. So are the other members of the strongly anti-Sarab coalition 'India'. AAP said that Kangana's comment is proof of BJP's attitude towards farmers.

Maharashtra Shiv Sena (Uddhav) leader Priyanka Chaturvedi wrote on the X handle, Kangana has not apologized for the comment. He should apologize. It is also necessary to express grief. BJP also did not express regret, while Kangana is their Lok Sabha member. From this it can be understood that whatever BJP does and says for the farmers, it is just a matter of words.

BJP's top leadership is now thinking about how to deal with Kangana's controversial comments. BJP has been in power in Haryana for 10 years. Meanwhile, since entering politics, Kangana's professional life is also going downhill. No movie has been successful at the box office. In this situation, his new movie 'Emergency' has created a new controversy. 'Emergency' is scheduled to release on September 6. But there are demands to ban it. It has been demanded that the objectionable parts be removed if it is released exclusively.

The Sikh community is against Kangana. This society claims that the Sikh community has been defamed in that movie. They are shown as 'terrorists'. Shiromani Gurdwara Prabandhak Committee (SGPC), head of the Shiromani Gurdwara Prabandhak Committee (SGPC), demanding an FIR against Kangana, said the movie portrayed the Sikh community as separatist. It's not wrong, it's intentional. Kangana essayed the role of Indira Gandhi in 'Emergency'. He is one of the producers of the movie.

Kangana has also received death threats for this movie. In one video, a Sikh leader named Vicky Thomas Singh is heard saying, “Remember what happened when the Sikh community is seen as terrorists, whose life the movie is based on (Indira Gandhi). If a Sikh can cut his own throat, he can also cut the throat of others. In that video, another person can be heard saying to Kangana, you were slapped earlier. Sardars will kick you if you release this movie.

Kangana herself has seen that video. With the video on the X handle, he tagged police from Maharashtra, Punjab and Himachal Pradesh. He also wrote, 'Please watch the video.' This is how Kangana put herself in danger, put the team in danger.
