Kangana Ranaut Claims Farmers’ Protest Could Have Escalated to a Bangladesh-Like Situation

Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut, known for her outspoken views, has once again sparked controversy by claiming that the 2020-21 farmers’ protest in India could have escalated to a situation similar to the 1971 Bangladesh Liberation War. Speaking in a recent interview, Ranaut expressed her concerns about the protest, suggesting that the unrest had the potential to lead to severe consequences for the nation.

Ranaut, who has been a vocal critic of the farmers’ agitation against the now-repealed farm laws, stated, “If the government hadn’t taken a strong stand, we could have faced a situation like what happened in Bangladesh in 1971. The protest was being hijacked by anti-national elements, and it could have spiraled out of control.”

The actress, who often uses her social media platforms to voice her opinions on national issues, reiterated her belief that the protest was not entirely organic. She suggested that external forces were attempting to destabilize the country, and had the government not intervened, the situation could have become catastrophic.

Ranaut’s comments have received significant backlash, with critics accusing her of making inflammatory statements and drawing exaggerated parallels. Many have taken to social media to criticize her for downplaying the legitimate concerns of the farmers and for invoking a sensitive historical event to support her viewpoint.

The farmers’ protest, which lasted for over a year, was one of the largest in India’s recent history, with thousands of farmers camping on the borders of Delhi to demand the repeal of the controversial farm laws. The movement eventually led to the government repealing the laws, but it also left deep political and social divides.

Kangana Ranaut has often been at the centre of controversies for her outspoken nature. While some praise her for speaking her mind, others believe she often crosses the line with her comments. This latest statement is expected to add to the ongoing debates surrounding her role as a public figure in India’s socio-political discourse.
