Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Sanjay Raut alleged on Friday, June 7, that the CISF woman constable who allegedly slapped Kangana Ranaut was provoked by the actress' comments during the farmer's protests. 

Kulwinder Kaur, the woman CISF constable stationed at Chandigarh Airport, reportedly slapped Bollywood actress and actor-politician Kangana Ranaut on Thursday.

Raut said that if the CISF woman constable' mother was there in the farmer's agitation and Kangana Ranaut said anything against it; then it would naturally arouse ‘anger’. “ Some people give votes and some give slaps. I don't know what has happened actually... If the constable has said that her mother was also sitting, then it is true. If her mother was there in the farmer's agitation and someone said anything against it, then it would create anger," ANI quoted Sanjay Raut.

“But if PM Modi says that there should be the rule of law, then it should not be taken into hands... The people in the farmer's agitation were sons and daughters of India. If someone insults Bharat Mata and someone is offended by it, then it is something to think about," he added.

Raut appealed to the public to respect the newly elected Bharatiya Janata Party MP from Himachal Pradesh's Mandi, saying, "I have sympathy for Kangana. She is an MP now. An MP should not be attacked, but the farmers should also be respected."

Soon after the "Queen" actress landed in New Delhi, she posted a video statement on social media platform X (formally Twitter), titled, “Shocking rise in terror and violence in Punjab", and said that she was safe and fine.

The 35-year-old Kulwinder Kaur from Sultanpur Lodhi in Punjab posted at Chandigarh Airport for the last two years claimed that the Mandi MP made a derogatory remark during a farmers' protest.

She alleged that Kangana said farmers protested in Delhi because they were paid ₹100 or ₹200. This remark had angered Kulwinder Kaur as her mother was also among the protesters stationed there.
