The opposition is attacking the statement of actress-MP Kangana Ranaut, who talked about rape and murder in the farmers' movement. Opposition leader Rahul Gandhi said on Monday – BJP MP calling farmers rapists and representatives of foreign forces is proof of BJP's anti-farmer policy and intentions.
Earlier, the BJP had distanced itself from the statement of actress-MP Kangana Ranaut. Now Shiv Sena (Uddhav faction) MP Priyanka Chaturvedi has said that Kangana has called the farmers rapists. She should apologize to the country.
On Kangana's claim of foreign involvement in the movement, Chaturvedi said, “Does she have more information than the Prime Minister, Home Minister and NSA Doval? CBI should arrest her and interrogate her so that the truth can come out.”
Priyanka Chaturvedi had a special conversation with Dainik Bhaskar on the controversy related to Kangana Ranaut's statement. Read the interview…
Question: Kangana Ranaut has said that rapes and murders took place in the farmers' movement, what would you say on this?
answer– I am surprised that an MP has made such an irresponsible statement. She is calling the farmers rapists, is rape such a light word? How can Kangana compare the farmers of the country with terrorists and people from Bangladesh. Kangana will have to understand that she is now an MP, she should show some maturity. Now her job is not just to promote the film.
The shocking thing is that no one from the Bharatiya Janata Party protested against this, this shows how big anti-farmer these people are. The Prime Minister should take cognizance of this and force Kangana to apologize.
Question- Kangana is saying that foreign forces were behind the farmers' movement, what do you say?
answer- It is very strange that Kangana Ranaut has information which the country's intelligence agencies do not have. Does Kangana Ranaut have more information than the country's Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Home Minister Amit Shah and NSA Ajit Doval? NSA Ajit Doval should send a summon to Kangana. CBI should arrest Kangana right now and ask that when Kangana had such intelligence information, why did she not inform the Home Ministry about it?
Question- But Kangana's supporters are justifying her statement, what is wrong in that?
answer– People defending Kangana should be ashamed. Even if crimes like rape took place there, linking the entire movement to it shows a dirty mentality. Every day 80 to 90 rape cases are registered in the country. Has Kangana ever raised her voice against it? I think Kangana has put her PR army to work. The same people are supporting her, no civilized person will ever stand in her support. You tell me, will the country's Agriculture Minister Shivraj Singh Chauhan agree with this statement of Kangana?
Question: A Congress leader from Punjab has demanded that NSA be imposed on Kangana. What do you have to say?
answer- Look, I don't know whether NSA should be imposed or not, but I will definitely say that she considers herself the most knowledgeable woman in this world. She thinks that only she has all the information. Only she knows the inside stories of the film industry. Only she knows what Sushant Singh Rajput used to do. She needs wisdom. I have not met her in Parliament yet. When I meet her, I will explain the right thing to her.
Question: Kangana has advised Rahul Gandhi to watch her film Emergency, what would you say on this?
answer- Ever since she came to the Parliament, she has been promoting the film. I don't understand why she needed to make a film on this 50-year-old issue. Unemployment and inflation are important issues in the country right now. Shouldn't she make a film on this?
Many opposition leaders have also reacted sharply to Kangana's statement. Read Kangana's statement and the opposition's reaction here…
Kangana had said- violence was planned, Punjab could have become Bangladesh
In an interview to Dainik Bhaskar, Kangana had said that in the name of farmers' movement in Punjab, miscreants were spreading violence. Rapes and murders were happening there. The farmers' bill was withdrawn otherwise these miscreants had a very long-term plan. They could have done anything in the country.
BJP said on Monday- Kangana is not allowed to speak on farmers' protest
On Monday itself, the BJP distanced itself from the statement of actress-MP Kangana Ranaut. The BJP wrote in a press release- The party disagrees with Kangana's statement. She is not allowed to speak on the party's policy issues. She is also not authorized to make a statement on behalf of the party.
BJP has instructed Kangana not to make any further statement on this issue. The party statement talks about following the principle of Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas and Sabka Prayas.
This press release of BJP was issued by news agency PTI at 4.12 pm on Monday.
Supriya Shrinet said- BJP cannot wash its hands off Kangana's statement
Congress spokesperson Supriya Shrinet said that in this country, the farmers have never been called rapists before. BJP cannot wash its hands off this matter. If there is someone with such a vile mentality in your party, then throw him out. The Ministry of External Affairs and Home Affairs should give an explanation, because they are saying that Chinese and foreign powers are working in the country.
Raut said- BJP will have to distance itself not only from the statement but also from Kangana
On Kangana's statement, Shiv Sena (Uddhav faction) MP Sanjay Raut said on Monday that Kangana has made many such statements, due to which BJP will have to distance itself. One day, BJP will have to distance itself from Kangana.
Surjewala said- Get well soon Kangana, are these allegations an election strategy?
Congress spokesperson Randeep Surjewala said- Get well soon Kangana. He raised the question that why do the people of BJP hate the farmers so much. BJP has always conspired against the farmers, lied to them and suppressed their voice. Once again a BJP MP has made baseless allegations against the farmers.
Now the question is whether Kangana has made this cheap allegation as part of BJP's election strategy. Were these only Kangana's words or someone else's? If not, then why are the Prime Minister, Haryana Chief Minister and all BJP MPs and MLAs silent on this?
Congress leader demands- NSA should be imposed on Kangana
After this interview, former Punjab cabinet minister and Congress leader Rajkumar Verka had said, “Kangana is constantly making such statements on farmers. An FIR should be registered against her and NSA should be imposed on her.” Verka has been a two-time Congress MLA, a cabinet minister in the Punjab government from 2017 to 2022 and twice the vice-chairman of the National Scheduled Caste Commission.
