Opinion: Have those who support the woman who slapped Kangana forgotten this video of Rajiv Gandhi?


Kangana Ranaut Attack News: Mandi’s Lok Sabha MP Kangana Ranaut was slapped by CISF Kulwinder Kaur. Will those who clapped for this incident support the attacks on Rajiv Gandhi and Indira Gandhi in the same way? Such people are fuelling a big fire.

Highlights

  • Kangana Ranaut was slapped by a CISF woman constable at Chandigarh airport
  • There are more people clapping on this incident than those supporting Kangana
  • Have the supporters forgotten the attacks on Rajiv Gandhi and Indira Gandhi?

New Delhi: It is said that the one who supports the wrong is as guilty as the one who commits the mistake. The act of the CISF jawan who slapped Mandi’s new MP Kangana Ranaut at the Chandigarh airport cannot be justified in any way. It is true that the woman jawan found Kangana’s comment on her mother inappropriate, but there are other ways to express one’s displeasure. For those who do not know what Kangana said that made the CISF jawan so angry, let us tell you. Kangana had said to the farmers sitting in this farmers’ movement, one of whom was the mother of that woman jawan, that the people sitting in the movement had come for Rs 100 each. With this in mind, that woman vented out all her anger on Kangana yesterday. Revenge and anger could not stop her. Those who justified this incident or raised the flag in its support forgot that in the year 1984, former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi was killed by her two security guards in revenge or say due to the feeling of vengeance. Former PM Rajiv Gandhi was attacked twice in 1987, although he/she narrowly escaped. First, she was shot at Mahatma Gandhi’s Samadhi Sthal and second, when she was giving a guard of honour in Sri Lanka, she was shot from behind by a Sri Lankan soldier. Those who support Kulwinder Kaur or clap for her act belong to the same party which has lost its Prime Minister because of this. Whatever the reason, the dignity of the uniform and self-discipline must be maintained. With the help of this article, the incidents mentioned above will have to be repeated in detail, perhaps those who clap for the act of female soldier Kulwinder Kaur will understand. Rajiv Gandhi was attacked twice in a year
Everyone knows that Rajiv Gandhi died in a bomb blast when he/she was surrounded by common people in Sriperumbudur, Tamil Nadu, but very few people know that he/she was attacked twice in 1987 and 1986. The first attack happened on 31st July 1987 in Sri Lanka. Rajiv Gandhi was in Sri Lanka then. he/she was receiving the Guard of Honor in front of Rashtrapati Bhavan when a Sri Lankan soldier attacked him/her from behind by turning the gun upside down. However, he/she survived this attack. he/she had already sensed that something was coming at him/her and he/she bent down. Thankfully, Rajiv Gandhi’s wisdom came in handy here.

Two jawans of the Prime Minister’s personal security, Mr. G.S. Jamwal and Mr. Mohinder Kumar, dressed in white naval uniforms, caught hold of the attacker and pushed him/her away. Some Sri Lankan security personnel also came forward to help them. It was reported that he/she was a Sri Lankan Navy jawan. However, undeterred by the attack, Gandhi completed the inspection of the guard of honour and joined President Julius Jayewardene, his/her ministers and other dignitaries under a canopy erected nearby to bid him/her farewell. At the time of the attack, only journalists taking photographs and videos were allowed on the path between the President’s House and the General Post Office. Then PM Rajiv himself informed the journalists about the attack while returning to the plane. he/she was asked what hit you in the back? Was it the butt of a gun? To this Rajiv Gandhi told Hindustan Times that maybe some of your photographers have captured it in their cameras.

Rajiv Gandhi further said that when I was inspecting the Guard of Honor and passed by one person at a time, I saw some movement from the corner of my left eye. I saw a gun coming upside down. I bent down a little out of alertness. Due to my bending, it missed my head and the force of the blow hit my shoulder below my left ear. This way the injury was reduced. Exactly 1 year before this, in the month of October, Rajiv Gandhi, who had reached Mahatma Gandhi’s Samadhi Sthal in Delhi, was shot at by attackers hiding in the bushes but he/she survived.
Indira’s two security guards killed her
For those who justify the attack on Kangana, let us also remind them of those who killed Indira Gandhi by her own two security guards. Those memories of Operation Blue Star of 1984 were burning like fire inside Satwant Singh and Beant Singh. Both of them did not let anyone else know that they were going to do anything like this on 31 October 1984. Indira Gandhi’s first program of that day was with English documentary maker Peter Alexander Ustinov. Indira had to shoot his/her interview that day. Later that day, Indira Gandhi was to meet former Prime Minister of England James Callaghan. In the evening, Indira Gandhi had organized a dinner for British Princess Anne, daughter of Queen Elizabeth II. Indira Gandhi was ready for the interview with Peter Ustinov by 7:30 in the morning. She had toast, orange juice, eggs and cereal for breakfast. She wore a saffron sari with black border for the shooting of the documentary.

When Indira Gandhi reached the gate of 1 Akbar Road and was discussing with R.K. Dhawan, Narayan Singh was holding an umbrella to protect her from the winter sun. Suddenly, one of her bodyguards, Beant Singh, fired at him/her with his/her gun. The bullet hit him/her in the stomach. Beant Singh fired two additional bullets in his/her chest. Another attacker, Satwant Singh, was standing nearby holding his/her carbine. Satwant Singh soon emptied all the 25 bullets, most of which had penetrated Indira Gandhi’s body. Rameshwar Dayal was hit by a bullet and fell down. R.K. Dhawan and a policeman Dinesh Bhatt took Indira Gandhi to her Ambassador vehicle. Her political secretary Makhanlal Fotedar was also present. All of them took Indira Gandhi to AIIMS, which was not yet informed about the incident. Indira Gandhi could not be saved during treatment.

Those who support, what fire are you fueling?
You may not like Kangana Ranaut’s behaviour and as an actress but she is now an MP. She also has some dignity. Today, Kulwinder Singh Kaur slapped her after being hurt by her statement on her mother. People who clap and laugh at such incidents are fuelling a big fire tomorrow. A person deployed for security may set fire, suddenly kill or attack a leader or minister. You may support the security personnel just because the victim is an MP or a minister and your opinion does not match with his/her. There are other ways to express resentment and anger, the only difference is which one you have chosen.
