My Mother Was At Farmers Protest”: Constable Who “Slapped” Kangana Ranaut

Chandigarh: 

Kulwinder Kaur, the security officer who allegedly slapped new BJP Lok Sabha MP Kangana Ranaut at Chandigarh airport, said she had been triggered by an old remark by the actor about the farmers protest. “She gave a statement… that farmers are sitting there for ₹ 100. Will she go and sit there? My mother was sitting there and protesting when she gave this statement…”

Ms Kaur – who reportedly comes from a family of farmers – has been suspended and faces a police case. She said she had reacted to Kangana Ranaut – who won Himachal Pradesh’s Mandi seat and was going to Delhi – of “disrespecting farmers”. 

After reaching Delhi Ms Ranaut raged about “terrorism rising in Punjab”.

“The incident happened at the security check-in. The woman guard waited for me to cross. She then came and hit me… started throwing expletives. I asked (her) why she hit me. She said, ‘I support farmers’. I am safe… but my concern is terrorism is rising in Punjab. How do we handle that?” she said in her message.
