BJP has distanced itself from actress and MP Kangana Ranaut's statement on farmers' agitation. News agency PTI published the press release of BJP on Monday. In it, it is written – the party does not agree with Kangana's statement. Kangana is not allowed to speak on party policy issues. He 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's statement talks about following the principles of Sabka Saath, Sabka Vikas, Sabka Vishwas and Sabka Purayas. Priyanka Chaturvedi's question – Why is there no release on BJP's letterhead? Shiv Sena (Uddhav Group) MP Priyanka Chaturvedi has questioned the BJP's statement regarding Kangana. He wrote in a social media post that it is neither on the BJP letterhead nor has anyone's signature on it. This release is not on BJP's social media handles. Tagging BJP, he wrote that there is a reason behind this or this is also a joke. Kangana said- If the government was not strong, then Punjab would have become Bangladesh. In the interview given to Bhaskar, Kangana said that miscreants are spreading violence in the name of farmers' movement in Punjab. There were rapes and murders. Even Punjab would have turned into Bangladesh during the farmers' movement if our top leadership had not been strong. The farmer bill was withdrawn or else these scoundrels had a very long plan. They can do anything in the country. Congress leader's demand – NSA should be imposed on Kangana After this interview, former Punjab cabinet minister and Congress leader Rajkumar Verka 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 Congress MLA twice. He has been a cabinet minister in the Punjab government from 2017 to 2022 and twice the vice-chairman of the National Scheduled Castes Commission. Congress spokesperson Atul Londhe said, “Kangana has called farmers rapists. Will Prime Minister Modi take action against her or will she be saved like Sadhvi Pragya.” Read the full interview of Kangana Ranaut… Question- The situation in Bangladesh today, can such a situation be created in our country? Answer: If our top leadership was weak today, a situation like Bangladesh could have happened in India as well. Everyone saw what happened during the farmers' movement here. How violence was unleashed in the name of protest. There were rapes, dead bodies were being hanged. When that bill was withdrawn, these scoundrels were shocked, as they had been planning for too long. They were controlled in time otherwise they could have done anything. Question- Whatever happened to Hindus in Bangladesh, common people feel that the industry has kept silent on it, what do you say? Answer- 'Actually these people have no information. They just follow their own path. In the morning she puts on makeup and sits down, it doesn't matter what is happening in the country or the world. They feel that their work will continue and the country will go to hell. However, they forget that if something happens to the country, they will suffer equally.' Question: Will you raise your voice about women's safety? Answer- Safety of women has always been a matter of concern for me. I am very serious about this. I have always raised my voice in support of women to the extent of my ability. 10 years ago in Aamir Khan's show 'Satyamev Jayate', I openly opposed item numbers in films. Is a woman's body just for fun? Question- There is an atmosphere being created about you that it is very difficult to work with Kangana, how do you respond to this? Answer- 'This is propaganda used against me. Only those who are insecure about me and my work say such things. People think that Kangana speaks the truth too much. Let go, I have also raised my voice against these people.' “I have always spoken out against casteism, nepotism and item numbering in the industry. I also exposed many people during the MeToo movement. Even during the suicide of Sushant Singh Rajput, I made many revelations, due to which many people were shocked.' Question- You will be seen in the role of Indira in the film Emergency, what do you think? Answer- This film has been made with great sincerity. There is no question of opposing anyone here. Even Rahul Gandhi will like the film. After watching the film, they will praise it internally, but don't know what they will say externally. Question- Do you see some similarities in yourself with Indiraji? Is there anything about them that doesn't feel right to you? Ans- If we forget the Emergency episode, one of his personality traits was that he loved his country very much. They really wanted some change. Today's leaders are power hungry, they do not love their country. What feels bad about him is that he wanted to take his family forward, which I don't think is right. Q- Can it be said for you that you were doing well as far as the industry was concerned. Did you feel bad when you started giving your opinion? Answer- I came to Mumbai in 2004. Got the first film in 2006. Till 2014 I was seen as an ordinary actress. People in the industry had a positive attitude towards me. After 2014, when my films started becoming hits, his mind started shaking. He wondered who this outsider girl was coming and making her own place. She is neither the daughter of a big father nor does she have any godfather in the industry, then why is she becoming so successful. As soon as 'Tanu Weds Manu' 'Returns' became a superhit, they fell behind me even more. They started abusing me, insulting my character and calling me a psycho. Meaning the girl who was normal to him for 10 years suddenly became a psycho? Filmmakers like Karan Johar, Ketan Mehta and Apoorva Asrani used to make statements against me every day.' Question- You always speak fearlessly, your own people do not explain to you why you are hurting yourself? Answer- See, my family lives a very simple life. He has no attachment whatsoever. They are happy that now I am spending more and more time in my native Mandi. Apart from this some well-wishers definitely say that you should not fight in everything. They are right to some extent, now I can't fight everything alone.
