Then expel her from the party… Congress cornered BJP over Kangana’s statement, sought clarification from the government

New Delhi: After the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) expressed disagreement with its MP and actress Kangana Ranaut’s controversial statement related to farmers, the Congress on Monday said that if the ruling party disagrees with the comments of its MP, then it should expel her from the party. Congress’s social media cell head and spokesperson Supriya Shrinet also said that the government should give clarification on Kangana’s claim that the US and China were conspiring to create instability within the country. The BJP on Monday distanced itself from the statement of actress and MP Kangana Ranaut, in which she had said that in the name of farmers’ movement in Punjab, miscreants were spreading violence and rapes and murders were taking place there.

BJP distanced itself from Kangana’s statement

According to a press release issued by the BJP’s central media department, the party also instructed the Mandi MP not to make such statements in future. Congress spokesperson Supriya told reporters that till date no leader has used the words that Kangana Ranaut has used against the farmers. She said that when Kangana’s statement created outrage, the BJP was asked about its official stand. The Haryana elections are near and it is known that the BJP is going to lose. In such a situation, a statement came from the BJP in which disagreement was expressed with Kangana’s comments.

Kangana has no right to sit in Parliament

The Congress spokesperson said that if this is not the opinion of the BJP then expel Kangana from the party. She said that the one who has said this about the farmers does not have the right to sit in Parliament. Tell Kangana to apologize to the farmers or the BJP should apologize. She said that your (BJP) MP is saying that two foreign powers, America and China, were conspiring to create instability and unrest in India. The Ministry of External Affairs and the Home Ministry should tell whether this is true? If this is not true then the government should tell that it is not so. She said that the government should clarify. Supriya said that if foreign powers are creating unrest in the country then the Narendra Modi government is weak.
