Kangana hits back at those who justify the slap, arguing that she consents to rape and murder

Actress-politician and newly elected Mandi MP Kangana Ranaut on Saturday (June 8) slammed those who praised the CISF policeman who allegedly slapped her at the Chandigarh airport.

In a strong reaction, Ranaut asked if the people who supported the incident would also be OK with someone being raped or murdered.

“Don’t hold grudges”

“Every rapist, murderer or thief always has a strong emotional, physical, psychological or financial reason to commit a crime. No crime happens without a reason and yet they are convicted and sentenced to prison. If you agree with the criminal’s strong emotional impulse to commit a crime that violates all the laws of the land. Remember, if you have no problem penetrating a person’s private parts, touching their body without their permission and assaulting them, then deep down you also have no problem with rape or murder because that is also just penetration or stabbing, what’s the point? You need to examine your psychological criminal tendencies more closely,” she said in a post on X (formerly Twitter).

“I suggest you start yoga and meditation, otherwise life will become a bitter and stressful experience. Please don’t carry so much resentment, hatred and jealousy, free yourself,” the actor added.

Kangana was slapped by a CISF constable when she travelled to New Delhi to attend a meeting of all newly elected BJP MPs. The constable, identified as Constable Kulwinder Kaur, was later suspended and a case was registered against her.

A video circulating online shows Ranaut walking to a check-in counter and a verbal argument breaking out. Ranaut refused to hand over her mobile phone for the mandatory security check. The MP from Mandi then allegedly pushed the security personnel on duty aside.

The video, however, does not show Kangana being slapped. The police officer claimed that she was hurt by Ranaut’s remarks during the 2020 farmers’ protest.

Shabana attacks the plot

The actor had previously criticized Bollywood’s silence on the issue in a now-deleted post.

Meanwhile, veteran actress Shabana Azmi reacted to the incident and said that the security agencies should not take the law into their own hands.

“I have no great love for Kangana Ranaut. But I cannot join this chorus of celebrations for ‘the slap in the face’. When security forces start taking the law into their own hands, none of us will be safe,” Shabana posted on X.
