Actor Kangana Ranaut is known for a lot of things, her capabilities to stir up a storm being one of them. The actress recently posted a video on Instagram in which she called the ongoing farmers' protests “politically motivated”. She also demanded to know why she is put to test on a regular basis while celebrities like Priyanka Chopra and Diljit Dosanjh are rarely questioned about their intentions.
In the video, Kangana said, “I had given everyone my word that I will speak about the farmers' protests once the true motivations are revealed, just like the Shaheen Bagh protests. After the kind of mental and emotional lynching and rape threats I have faced online during these 10-12 days, it’s my right to ask some questions to this country. Since the Prime Minister has made everything clear, there is no scope for any doubts, it has been proven that this entire movement was politically motivated and even terrorists had started participating in it.”
She said, “I have lived in Punjab... I know 99.9% people of Punjab do not want Khalistan. They don’t want a piece of this country, they belong to India. From Arunachal Pradesh to Maharashtra to Delhi, it’s all theirs. They don’t want a small portion, they all are patriots. I don’t have any complains with terrorists who want to break this country, I understand their feelings. But how do these innocent people let these terrorists play with them. Like the Shaheen Bagh dadi couldn’t read but was protesting to save her citizenship, the dadi from Punjab has been hurling abuses at me and trying to save her land from the government, what is happening in this country?”
Kangana recently had an ugly face-off with Dosanjh on Twitter over the protests, where the Punjabi singer relentlessly snapped at her through a series of tweets. In the video, she said, “I have a complaint against you. I have to talk about my intentions every day, a patriot has to clarify so many things. But people like Diljit and Priyanka, no one asks about their intentions. What is their policy? When I talk in favour of this country, I am accused of doing politics. Ask them as well what is their policy. Jai Hind.”
