CHANDIGARH: Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann said Monday that the CISF constable who allegedly slapped actor Kangana Ranaut might have been angry over the BJP MP-elect’s previous statements on the farmers’ stir. Though Mann ticked off Kangana over her remarks on “terrorism”, he said the incident should not have happened.
It was the Punjab CM’s first reaction to CISF woman constable Kulwinder Kaur allegedly slapping Kangana at Chandigarh airport last week.Kaur was apparently upset with Kangana’s stance on the farmers’ protests.
Replying to a question, Mann said, “Look, that was anger. She had earlier spoken like this. Somewhere, there was anger in the heart of the woman. It (incident) should not have happened like this,” he added.
In a reference to Kangana, Mann said whether one is a film actor or an MP, it is wrong to say that entire Punjab is a terrorist state and there is terrorism in the state. “On every issue, you say that they are terrorists and separatists. If farmers hold protests, they are called terrorists. It’s wrong.
