In the wake of the recent controversy involving Kangana Ranaut, MP Harsimrat Kaur Badal has voiced her opinion on the matter. Kaur slammed the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) accusing it of following a policy designed to ‘spread poison.’ Kaur's comments came a day after the incident involving Ranaut when a CISF personnel slapped the actor-politician. Bathinda MP, Harsimrat Kaur said that making "useless comments" can have serious repercussions, implicitly referring to the backlash Ranaut faced.
Kaur was talking to news agency ANI when she said, "Kangana Ranaut should understand her responsibility instead of trying to please her High Command...Being an actress, she is followed by many people, when you say stupid things and make useless comments then there is a reaction.”

She added that If she was to hear similar words about her own mother that she had directed at others' mothers, she would find them equally offensive. Instead of acknowledging her own mistakes, she was accused of labelling others as terrorists. She noted that her party's strategy involved spreading negativity.
In a video message on Thursday, Ranaut claimed that a constable struck her in the face and verbally abused her during a security check at the Chandigarh airport.
Ranaut claimed that a CISF constable, seemingly agitated by her stance on the farmer protests, hit her in the face and verbally abused her during a security check at Chandigarh airport. The altercation occurred two days after she was elected to the Lok Sabha from Mandi in Himachal Pradesh.
Kulwinder Kaur, the CISF personnel involved, has been suspended, and an investigation has been initiated. The CISF, responsible for airport security, has also ordered a court of inquiry into the incident.
