Punjab Congress President Amarinder Singh Raja Criticizes Kangana Ranaut’s Remarks on Farm Laws

Chandigarh (Punjab) [India], September 24: Punjab Congress President Amarinder Singh Raja has criticized BJP MP Kangana Ranaut for her controversial statement suggesting the reinstatement of the repealed farm laws. Raja described Ranaut as ‘habitually controversial’ and ‘mentally unstable.’

Ranaut had stated, ‘I know this statement could be controversial, but the three farm laws should be brought back. Farmers themselves should demand it.’ In response, Raja said, ‘Some people are accustomed to creating controversy, and the BJP benefits from her statements. She talks about farmers, Punjab, the Emergency, and Rahul Gandhi. There are other MPs who never make such remarks.’

Ranaut also criticized Congress leader Rahul Gandhi, prompting Raja to defend him, saying, ‘Kangana wants to involve herself in every matter. She made comments about Rahul Gandhi, but what has he said that’s wrong? Many like Kangana and Ranveer Singh Bittu have come and gone, but the Congress still stands strong.’

Earlier, on September 20, Ranaut had accused Rahul Gandhi of being willing to divide the country to gain power. Himachal Pradesh Minister Vikramaditya Singh also criticized Ranaut for her remarks against senior Congress leader Sonia Gandhi, demanding an apology and challenging her to substantiate her allegations or face legal action. Singh stated, ‘Not even an illiterate person would say such things. She must either provide evidence or apologize within a week, or we will file a defamation case. The BJP should take note of this matter.’
