Kangana Ranaut slap row: Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann on Monday said that the CISF woman constable who allegedly slapped actor Kangana Ranaut may have been angry by the BJP MP’s earlier remarks on the farmers’ protest.
This was Punjab Chief Minister Mann’s first response to the incident where CISF woman constable Kulwinder Kaur allegedly slapped Kangana Ranaut at the Chandigarh airport on June 6. Kaur was apparently upset with Kangana’s stance on the farmers’ protests.
Replying to a question on the slapping incident, Mann said, “Look, that was anger. She (Kangana) had earlier spoken like this. Somewhere, there was anger in the heart of that woman (CISF constable). It (incident) should not have happened like this.”
Mann criticised Kangana for her remarks on “terrorism” but acknowledged that the incident should not have occurred.
In a clear reference to Kangana Ranaut, Mann said that regardless of whether someone is a film actor or an MP, it is wrong to label the entire Punjab as a terrorist state and claim there is terrorism in the state.
