Kangana Ranaut, the Bollywood actor and BJP’s Mandi Lok Sabha candidate, expressed her hurt over a now-deleted controversial post made from Congress leader Supriya Shrinate’s Instagram handle. The offensive post targeted Kangana Ranaut, and she particularly took issue with the reference to Mandi, the place from where she is contesting the Lok Sabha elections on a BJP ticket. Kangana emphasized that every woman deserves dignity, regardless of her profession, and expressed her pain over the use of the term “Mandi,” which is known as Chota Kashi and has historical significance as the land of several Rishis.
Regarding taking action against the Congress leader, Kangana stated that she had been called to Delhi by BJP president JP Nadda and would respond only after meeting him. She emphasized the need to maintain the dignity of the party and follow their instructions.
The controversy escalated further when offensive posts were made from both Supriya Shrinate’s and Congress leader HS Ahir’s Instagram handles, targeting Kangana Ranaut. Supriya Shrinate claimed that many people have access to her Facebook and Instagram accounts, and someone else made the post in question. Ahir also provided a similar explanation, stating that a parody account misusing his name was responsible for the mischief.
National Commission for Women (NCW) Chief Rekha Sharma has urged Congress leader Sonia Gandhi to take action against Shrinate and Ahir for their derogatory language against Kangana Ranaut. The NCW has written to the Election Commission seeking stringent action against the party and the leaders. It is unfortunate that such language is being used against another woman, and the NCW takes this matter seriously.
In summary, the controversy surrounding Supriya Shrinate’s post has drawn attention, and Kangana Ranaut’s hurt feelings have prompted calls for action from both political leaders and women’s rights organizations.
