CHANDIGARH, 27.08.24-Aam Aadmi Party senior leader Prem Garg strongly condemned the recent irresponsible statements made by BJP MP Kangana Ranaut, suggesting that her remarks are a deliberate part of the BJP’s anti-farmer agenda. Aam Aadmi Party organized a protest today at Shaheed Bhagat Singh Chowk in Sector 11-15 Panchkula, to voice their dissent against Kangana Ranaut’s statements, which were seen as derogatory toward the farmers.

Addressing the gathering, AAP leader Prem Garg criticized MP Kangana Ranaut, stating that her repeated insults towards the farmers are not isolated incidents but rather a strategic move orchestrated by the BJP. He emphasized that the BJP cannot simply distance itself from these comments whenever they face backlash.

Garg pointed out that more than 750 farmers have lost their lives fighting for their rights, which eventually led the BJP leadership to retract the controversial farm laws due to mounting public pressure. Despite this, Kangana Ranaut had previously made offensive remarks, labeling the farmers as separatists and terrorists. Instead of being reprimanded, she was rewarded with a parliamentary ticket from Mandi by the BJP. This raises serious questions about the alignment of her statements with the party’s stance.

Prem Garg questioned how Kangana Ranaut could make such statements without the implicit approval of the BJP. He suggested that this might be a calculated move by the BJP, which could have serious repercussions in the upcoming Haryana elections. Given the upcoming elections and the growing resentment among farmers towards the BJP, the party is now trying to disassociate itself from Kangana’s statements.

Garg demanded that both the BJP leadership and Kangana Ranaut issue a public apology to the farmers, stating that their comments are not just an insult to the farmers—the backbone of the country—but to every citizen of the nation. The people of India will not accept such an affront.

During the protest, Aam Aadmi Party workers energetically chanted slogans against the BJP and Kangana Ranaut, demanding accountability and immediate action against them.
