Kangana raps those praising constable who slapped her
Actor-politician Kangana Ranaut criticized people praising the CISF woman constable who allegedly slapped her, asking if they also justify “rape or murder.”
Ms. Ranaut, in a video message on Thursday, said she was hit in the face and abused by the constable during a security check at the Chandigarh airport.
“If you are aligned with the criminal, you have a strong emotional impulse to commit a crime, violating all laws of the land.”
“Remember if you are ok with breaking into someone’s intimate zone, without their permission touching their bodies and assaulting them, then deep down you are ok with rape or murder also because that’s also just penetration or stab only what big deal, you must look deeper into your psychological criminal tendencies (sic),” the 37-year-old posted on X.
In her video message, Ms. Ranaut said she was hit in the face and abused by a CISF constable, who appeared to be upset with the actor over her stance on the farmer protests during a security check at the Chandigarh airport.
The ugly fracas broke out two days after she was elected to the Lok Sabha from Mandi in Himachal Pradesh.
Kulwinder Kaur, the accused CISF personnel, has been suspended, and an investigation has been launched. The CISF, which is tasked with providing security at airports, has also ordered a court of inquiry into the incident.
In her latest post, Ms. Ranaut also advised people to “take up yoga and meditation or else life will become a bitter and burdensome experience.”
“Please don’t carry so much grudge, hate, and jealousy; free yourself,” the actor added.
Earlier on Saturday, Ms. Ranaut received support from cinema veteran Shabana Azmi, who said security officials should not take the law into their own hands.
In a post on X, Ms. Azmi said that though she has “no love lost” for Ms. Ranaut, she wouldn’t join people celebrating the “slap.”
“I have no love lost for Kangana Ranaut. But I can’t join this chorus of celebrating ‘the slap’. If security personnel start taking the law into their hands, none of us can be safe,” Ms. Azmi wrote.
