Kangana Ranaut Responds to Controversial Remarks by Simranjit Singh Mann

Kangana Ranaut has condemned former Punjab MP Simranjit Singh Mann's derogatory remarks regarding her statements on rape, which he trivialized by suggesting she has 'experience' with it. Mann's comments were in response to Ranaut's claims that 'bodies were hanging' and rapes occurred during the farmers' protests against the now-repealed farm laws. She responded on social media, highlighting the cultural insensitivity reflected in such remarks, and emphasizing the need to address the normalization of violence against women. The Shiromani Akali Dal (Amritsar) leader's comments sparked significant outrage and condemnation, including from the Punjab women's commission. Meanwhile, the BJP distanced itself from Ranaut's earlier remarks, stating she was not authorized to speak on party policy. Ranaut acknowledged being reprimanded by the BJP leadership for her comments, indicating her awareness of the political ramifications of her statements.
