Chandigarh, October 3, 2024: The Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) Punjab leader and Member of Parliament Malvinder Singh Kang expressed strong condemnation of Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut’s latest remarks targeting the Punjabi community. Kang’s statements come in response to Ranaut’s continued controversial commentary, which he believes fosters division and hatred among communities.
Kang highlighted the alarming prevalence of drug-related issues in BJP ruled states, particularly Gujarat, where significant drug busts have been reported over the past few years. He pointed out that despite the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) being in power in Gujarat for decades, no substantive action has been taken to combat the drug crisis. “Kangana Ranaut chooses to ignore the facts and instead directs her ire towards the Punjabi community, failing to address the larger issue of drug trafficking that is rampant in regions under BJP governance,” Kang stated.
Furthermore, Kang expressed concern over Ranaut’s frequent use of inflammatory language and her pattern of making provocative statements that serve no constructive purpose. He argued that such behavior could indicate deeper issues, suggesting that the pressures of a declining film career might lead individuals to resort to negative habits, including substance abuse. “It seems that when faced with frustration, some individuals may turn to harmful coping mechanisms,” Kang remarked.
Kang also criticized the BJP for its dismissive attitude towards Ranaut’s statements. “It’s time for the BJP to stop playing drama and instead take concrete actions against the hate speech that aims to divide our society,” he stated. He called on the BJP to address these issues seriously rather than allowing such divisive rhetoric to escalate.
