Overview

• Former Tamil Nadu Congress chief KS Alagiri told agricultural workers to "do the same thing as the police officer at the airport" if Kangana Ranaut visits the state, according to comments reported by ANI.
• Ranaut, a BJP MP from Mandi, responded in Himachal Pradesh that she can travel anywhere in India and said one person's remark would not make a difference.
• Alagiri said farmers approached him upset over Ranaut’s 2020 comments suggesting elderly women at farm protests could be hired for ₹100, a post she later deleted.
• Reports recalled that in June 2024 a CISF constable, identified as Kulwinder Kaur, slapped Ranaut at Chandigarh airport and was subsequently suspended, with an FIR lodged.
• As of Friday, coverage detailed statements and reactions but did not report any legal or disciplinary action against Alagiri over his remarks.
