Kangana Ranaut sparks controversy again, Said- Himachal’s condition will be like Punjab due to drugs

BJP MP from Mandi in Himachal and Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut while talking to the media in Delhi on Friday said, "The situation in Himachal has become serious due to drugs. If strict steps are not taken soon, then our situation will become like those villages of Punjab, where only women and widows live."

Shimla, July 25: BJP MP from Mandi in Himachal and Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut while talking to the media in Delhi on Friday said, “The situation in Himachal has become serious due to drugs. If strict steps are not taken soon, then our situation will become like those villages of Punjab, where only women and widows live.”

Kangana further said, “Drugs are reaching Himachal from Pakistan via Punjab. Children have even sold their parents’ jewellery. Youths who are addicted to drugs lock themselves in rooms, shout, commit thefts, break vehicles and furniture and vandalise houses. This has made the situation worse than death.”

After this statement of Kangana, Punjab Finance Minister Harpal Cheema said, “She should control her statements. She often tries to remain in the media by saying absurd and nonsensical things. She does not have a proper understanding of society yet. She keeps making indecent comments against society and women every day.”

Governor’s two statements on drug addiction…

  • It will not take long to become flying Himachal: A day before, on Thursday, Himachal Pradesh Governor Shiv Pratap Shukla had called a press conference in Shimla on drug abuse. Expressing concern over drug abuse, he had said, “If the situation remains the same, it will not take long to become flying Himachal. The Himachal government is not serious about opening a de-addiction centre. There is talk of building a de-addiction centre in Sirmaur, but there is no mention of when it will be built. The matter could not move beyond paperwork.”
  • MLAs did not show interest: He further said that Himachal Raj Bhawan has worked beyond its limits against drug abuse. Various works have been done by calling various panchayat representatives, organizing sports competitions, starting a column for not consuming drugs in the admission form of all students in the university and will continue to do so. He had written letters to all the MLAs and requested them to organize anti-drug programs in their respective assembly constituencies, but the effort was not possible. Most of the MLAs did not show interest.

Kangana has given controversial statements earlier too…

Commented on women farmers in the farmers’ movement.

Amidst the farmers’ movement, Kangana Ranaut posted a photo on 27 November 2020 at 10 pm, in which it was written that the woman who joined the farmers’ protest is the same famous Bilkis Dadi, who was in the Shaheen Bagh protest. Which is available for 100 rupees. Although Kangana later deleted the post, but many social media users shared this post a lot. Due to this, the actress was surrounded by controversies.

Said in 2024 – Rapes and murders happened in the farmers’ movement

In an interview given to Bhaskar in August last year, Kangana had said that miscreants were spreading violence in the name of farmers’ movement in Punjab. Rapes and murders were happening there. If our top leadership had not been strong, Punjab would have also been turned into Bangladesh during the farmers’ movement. The farmers’ bill was withdrawn, otherwise these miscreants had a very long plan. They could have done anything in the country.
