Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) leader and former Punjab MP Simranjit Singh Mann addresses remarks on actor- politician Kangana Ranaut’s comment on farmer’s protest. Ranaut said earlier that the farmer’s protest could have turned into “Bangladesh-like-situation” if government had not taken hold of it. Also she said before that rapes took place during the farmers protest in the country’s northern parts at the beginning of the year.

In response to Kangana, Simranjit says, “Kangana Ranaut has a lot of experience with rape. You can ask her how it happens. People should be educated on how rape occurs".

Actor- politician Kangana voiced against Singh’s derogatory remark and she says that these comments cannot “supress her voice”. She added, “Today I am also receiving rape threats. They will not be able to suppress my voice like this". She also wrote on X, “It seems this country will never stop trivialising rape, today this senior politician compared getting raped to riding a bicycle no wonder rapes and violence against women for fun, are so deeply rooted in the psyche of this patriarchal nation that it is casually used to tease or mock a woman even if she is a high-profile filmmaker or politician."
