BKU Leader Rakesh Tikait Defends CISF Officer Amid Kangana Ranaut Controversy

Bharatiya Kisan Union leader Rakesh Tikait supported CISF woman personnel, Kulwinder Kaur, amid allegations of slapping actor-turned-BJP MP Kangana Ranaut at Chandigarh airport. Tikait criticizes labeling protestors as Khalistanis, urging a comprehensive investigation. Kaur has been suspended, and an inquiry has started.

Bharatiya Kisan Union leader Rakesh Tikait has extended his support to CISF personnel Kulwinder Kaur, who is embroiled in a controversy for allegedly slapping actor-turned-BJP MP Kangana Ranaut at the Chandigarh airport. Tikait emphasized the need for a thorough investigation into the incident.

Ranaut had claimed in a video message that she was hit in the face and verbally abused by the CISF officer during a security check. The confrontation took place shortly after Ranaut's election to the Lok Sabha from Mandi, Himachal Pradesh.

The CISF has since suspended Kaur and a comprehensive investigation is underway, including a court of inquiry. Tikait, while advocating for a fair probe, also urged politicians to refrain from labeling protestors as Khalistanis.
