Kangana faces protests in Himachal, Cong TN leader threatens to slap. Kangana Ranaut, Mandi MP faced huge protest from the people in Hmachal Pradesh.
Videos of locals expressing their resentment against Kangana Ranaut's visit to Patlikuhal area of Manali in Himachal's Kullu district went viral on the internet. In the video, local people holding black flags and shouting slogans are seen near the carcade of the actor-politician.
Viral videos from the scene show residents holding black flags and shouting slogans near the carcade of the actor-politician in Patlikuhal, clearly voicing their displeasure.
In one such video, Kangana is seen responding emotionally to the backlash:
“My restaurant is also here, and it made a sale of only Rs 50 yesterday. We pay Rs 15 lakh in salaries alone, and we could only do Rs 50 worth of business. Imagine what I must be going through. Please understand my pain. I am a Himachali. I am a single woman. Don’t attack me as if I’m doing nothing. Don’t treat me like I’m the Queen of England,” she said.
Kangana also appeared to shift focus toward the Congress-led state government, saying: “We are here to assess what work has been done and what the state government has actually done.”
During an interaction with a woman who attempted to question her about the flood situation, Kangana responded sharply: “Have you come to attack me or question me? If you come to harass us, how will we be able to work?”
In the meantime, Congress TN leader Alagari, threatened to slap Kangana Ranaut. He said “A few months ago, when she (Kangana Ranaut) went to an airport, a lady police officer slapped her. The police officer gave a reason that wherever she goes, she abuses everyone... I told the agricultural workers that if she comes to our area, do what the police officer at the airport did. You should do the same thing as the police officer at the airport. Only then will she rectify her mistake…”
He said "Yesterday, 10-15 agriculturists came to me and reported that during a press conference, Kangana Ranaut once said about agricultural women that they are working in the feeble lands.. But they are revolutionary ladies. One of the reporters asked her that even though those women are working in the fields, they are very prompt and brave, and capable of achieving anything... She (Kangana Ranaut) immediately replied that if given ₹100, they can come anywhere... The agriculturists reported this to me yesterday. I was shocked. Why is this lady, a sitting MP, criticising agricultural ladies? They come from rural India…”
