CISF Constable Slaps MP Kangana Ranaut: Sparks Concerns Over Political Motivation and Safety

Kangana Ranaut Slapped by CISF Constable at Chandigarh Airport, Probe Ordered

Unprovoked assault on Kangana Ranaut

In a shocking incident, newly elected BJP MP and actor Kangana Ranaut was allegedly slapped by a Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) constable at Chandigarh airport on Thursday. The constable, identified as Kulwinder Kaur, reportedly waited for Ranaut to pass through security before assaulting her in a signature Khalistani style.

Ranaut, who recently won the Lok Sabha election from Himachal Pradesh’s Mandi seat, was on her way to board a flight to Delhi when the incident occurred in the security check area. In a video shared on social media, Ranaut alleged that Kaur “strategically waited” for her and then “quietly came from behind and hit (her) face without saying a word”.

CISF Action

The CISF has suspended Kaur following the incident and a case has been filed against her under Sections 323 (assault) and 341 (wrongful restraint) of the Indian Penal Code. Kaur’s actions were reportedly triggered by an old statement made by Ranaut in December 2020, where she claimed that women in the farmers’ protest were paid ₹100 each to sit on Delhi borders.

Narratives set against Kangana Ranaut

“Kangana said the women were sitting in the farmers’ protests for ₹100. Will she go and sit there? My mother was sitting there and protesting when she made that remark,” Kaur said in a viral video. Kaur’s brother is also a farmer.

Kangana Ranaut says

Ranaut drew comparisons between herself and former PM Indira Gandhi, who was assassinated by her bodyguards and suggested a link between the attack and terrorism in Punjab. She further claimed that when she confronted Kaur, the constable diverted attention by engaging with other passengers who were recording the incident.

Public Reactions for Shameful Act

The public reaction to Kangana Ranaut’s account of the incident has been mixed and divided. Here are some key points:

1. Support and Condemnation: Many people have condemned the actions of the CISF constable, Kulwinder Kaur, and expressed support for Kangana Ranaut. They have criticized the constable’s behaviour as unacceptable and called for strict action against her.
2. Selective Outrage: However, some have pointed out that there was a perceived double standard in the reactions to the incident. A video emerged showing a man from Kangana Ranaut’s team slapping a woman at the airport, which sparked outrage and questions about why there was less condemnation for this incident compared to the one involving the CISF constable.
3. Political and Social Divisions: The incident has also been politicized, with some people supporting the constable’s actions due to Ranaut’s previous controversial statements about the farmers’ protests. This has led to a divide in public opinion, with some defending the constable and others strongly condemning her actions.
4. Advice on De-escalation Techniques: Some experts have used the incident to highlight the importance of maintaining composure and employing effective de-escalation strategies in public confrontations. They have suggested techniques such as deep breathing, active listening, and validating emotions to prevent minor disagreements from escalating.

Overall, the public reaction has been marked by both support for Kangana Ranaut and criticism of the CISF constable’s actions, as well as political and social divisions that have influenced the discourse around the incident.

Conclusion

The incident raises serious concerns about the safety and security of elected representatives, especially in light of the CISF’s role in protecting the Parliament. It also highlights the need for better training and sensitivity among security personnel when dealing with public figures.

As citizens, we must condemn such acts of violence and demand accountability from the authorities. Freedom of speech and expression is a fundamental right in India, and no one should face physical assault for voicing their opinions, no matter how controversial. The government must take swift action to ensure that such incidents do not occur again and that our elected representatives can carry out their duties without fear of harm.
