Punjab Newsline, Shimla, August 27-
State PWD Minister Vikramaditya Singh has strongly condemned the undirected and wrong statement made by Mandi MP and actress Kangana Ranaut on the farmers' movement in Haryana. In a statement issued here, Vikramaditya said that her baseless allegations questioning the role of USA and China in the farmer unrest are ludicrous, not grounded in reality, and showcase her intellectual bankruptcy.
Vikrmaditya said as a member of the treasury benches and an elected representative of Mandi parliamentary segment, Kangana Ranaut should be restrained while speaking on such sensitive issues. It is noteworthy that the Union Government, particularly the Ministry of External Affairs, should respond to her claims, which undermine the nation's foreign policy.
He said, such statements against a particular segment of society, namely farmers, are an insult to their struggles and sacrifices. Especially when the PM has already rolled back the black laws against farmers, this statement is unacceptable. We demand an apology from her for her insensitive and divisive remarks.
