Overview

• Former Tamil Nadu Congress chief KS Alagiri said Kangana Ranaut "should be slapped" if she visits the state.
• Alagiri said 10–15 farmers approached him with complaints about Ranaut’s past claim that women activists could be hired for Rs 100.
• He referenced the June 2024 Chandigarh airport incident in which CISF constable Kulwinder Kaur slapped Ranaut, after which the constable was suspended and an FIR was filed.
• Responding in Mandi, Ranaut said no one can stop her from going anywhere and noted that people in Tamil Nadu have shown her affection.
• The dispute traces back to Ranaut’s 2020 posts, including the alleged misidentification of 73-year-old farmer activist Mohinder Kaur and remarks about women protesters.
