An MP-MLA court at Bulandshahr has summoned Lok Sabha member and actress Kangana Ranaut on October 25 in a case filed against her for making objectionable remarks about the 2020-21 farmers’ protest.
The complaint was filed by a functionary of the Bharatiya Kisan Union (Kisan Shakti) and pertained to Kangana’s remarks during media interviews in which she had claimed that “violence”, “rapes” and “murders” took place during the protest against three controversial farm laws, which were later withdrawn by the Centre. “The matter was filed in the court on September 19 which issued notice to Kangna Ranaut (for appearance) on October 25. The matter pertains to her comments against farmers during the protest,” advocate Sanjay Sharma, representing the plaintiff, said. Kangana had termed farmers as Khalistanis and Pakistanis and, after becoming an MP, she called farmers “rapists” and “killers”.
The matter was filed in the court of second additional civil judge (senior division) Arjun Singh.
