The incident involving Kulwinder Kaur, a CISF security officer, and Kangana Ranaut at the Chandigarh airport has sparked significant controversy. Kulwinder Kaur reportedly slapped Kangana Ranaut due to a previous remark made by the actor about the farmers’ protest. Kaur, who comes from a family of farmers, was particularly triggered by Ranaut’s comment that farmers were protesting for ₹100, a statement that she found deeply disrespectful as her mother had participated in the protests.
Following the altercation, Kaur was suspended and now faces a police case. The CISF has initiated a court of inquiry into the incident, and the National Commission for Women has called for serious action, highlighting concerns about security breaches by personnel responsible for safeguarding airports.
Kangana Ranaut, a newly elected BJP MP from Himachal Pradesh’s Mandi constituency, condemned the incident, expressing concerns about rising terrorism in Punjab. The incident, which was partially captured on mobile footage showing a verbal spat but not the alleged slap, has elicited varied reactions from political figures, including calls for appropriate action against Kaur from both opposition and ruling party members.
Ranaut has previously been vocal about her support for the BJP and her criticism of the farmers’ protests, which has led to multiple confrontations with protesters. Her controversial statements on social media about the protests have fueled further animosity, culminating in this recent airport incident.
