Punjab CM Reacts to Kangana Ranaut Slap Incident at Chandigarh Airport

Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann addressed the alleged slapping of actor and MP-elect Kangana Ranaut by CISF woman constable Kulwinder Kaur. Mann noted Kaur's anger might stem from Ranaut's earlier comments on farmer protests, but stressed that such incidents should not occur.

On Monday, Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann addressed the controversial incident involving CISF woman constable Kulwinder Kaur, who allegedly slapped actor and BJP MP-elect Kangana Ranaut at Chandigarh airport.

Mann suggested that Kaur's anger might have been fueled by Ranaut's previous remarks on the farmers' protests. However, Mann stressed that this act of violence was inappropriate and should not have happened.

This marks the Chief Minister’s first public response to the incident, emphasizing that irrespective of one’s status—be it a film actor or a parliament member—it is incorrect to label Punjab as a terrorist state. Mann reiterated the importance of recognizing Punjab’s contributions to the nation, condemning the tendency to brand protestors as terrorists.
