Kangana's comment on farmers' protest earlier

Well, this isn't the first time, the BJP has reprimanded Kangana Ranaut for her earlier remark on farmers' protest. In August, Kangana in an interview with Dainik Bhasker compared the situation in Bangladesh with farmers' protests in India, and India would have witnessed the same condition during the farm protests. She added that bodies were hanging and rapes were taking place during the protest against the now-repealed three farm laws. She also alleged the involvement of China and the US in the "conspiracy".

BJP reprimanded Kangana back then as well

At that time as well, BJP had distanced itself from her statement saying, "The statement made by BJP MP Kangana Ranaut in the context of the farmers' agitation is not the opinion of the party. The Bharatiya Janata Party expresses its disagreement with the statement made by Kangana Ranaut." The MP from Mandi later said that she was indeed reprimanded for her take. She said, "I do not think I am the final voice of the party. I am not that crazy or stupid to believe that. I do believe in the guidance of my superiors."
