Who said what? – Firstpost

Kangana Ranaut is ready to make her political debut, but at the moment she is fighting against the usual sexism that women are confronted. A derogatory post on the actor, who received a ticket by the Bharatiya Janata (BJP) party to contest the Lok Sabha elections of Mandi of Himachal Pradesh, by a senior congress official, triggered a word war between the two parties. The reprehensible remarks were allegedly made by the spokesperson for the Supriya Shriate congress.

Degrading comments on Kangana

On his Instagram account, featuring a photo of Ranaut, Shrinate said: “Kya Bhav Chal Raha Hai Mandi Mandi Batayaga (can someone say what is the rate of walking in Mandi?)” Referring to The actor and his constituency in a way that is trying out? .

However, the head of the Congress said that she had not published the comments, but they were written by someone else who had access to his accounts.

“Someone who had access to my meta-accounts (FB and Insta) displayed an absolutely disgusting and reprehensible position, which was deleted. Whoever knows me will know that I would never say that for a woman, ”said Shrinate on X.

“However, a parody account that I have just discovered by abusing my name is to be managed on Twitter (@Supriyaparody) which started all the mischief and is reported,” she added.

Shrinine said The Indian Express that she had “no idea” who was the person behind the parody account. “Someone who had access to my meta-accounts published this reprehensible content there and I obviously deleted it,” she told the publication.

Kangana Ranaut’s response

The actor went to social networks to respond to comments, stressing that she had played different roles during his artist career. “Dear Supriya Ji. In the last 20 years of my artist career, I have played all kinds of women. From a naive daughter in the queen to an attractive spy in Dhaakad, from a goddess to Manikarnika to a demon of Chandramukhi, from a prostitute to Rajjo to a revolutionary leader in Thalaivii, “posted Ranaut on X, addressing the door -Spole of the Congress.

“We must release our daughters from the obstacles of prejudices, we must go beyond curiosity for their parts of the body and above all we must refrain from using sex workers for lives or circumstances such as a kind of abuse or suspension … Each woman deserves her dignity … “

She also shared articles of other comments objected on social networks. “If a young man gets a ticket, his ideology is attacked. If a young woman gets a ticket, her sexuality is attacked. Odd!! The people of the congress also sexualize the name of a small town. Mandi is used in the sexual context everywhere, simply because he has a young candidate. Shame on the people of the congress for having displayed sexist trends. »»

The BJP strikes Congress

The BJP continued the Congress, demanding that Shrinate be dismissed as the leaders’ social and digital media.

BJP’s national spokesperson Shehzad Ponawalla said: “This is more than disgusting. The comments of Supriya Shrinate on Kangana Ranaut are despicable. Should be immediately dismissed. Will Priyanka Gandhi speak? Does Kharge Ji send her back?

Ponawalla also pointed out that a similar comment had been made by Mrinal Pande, who lightens is part of “the congress ecosystem”. He said some questions remained unanswered.

“How is it that the head of the Gujarat Congress, Supriya, the Pande Mrinal (Cong ecosystem) and hundreds of others displayed the same line of attack on Kangana at the same period? Sanyog?

The spokesperson for the BJP asked how the Congress accounts (social media) had been treated. “Post without final check?” Of course, this means that she (Shriner) sanctioned the said post which abuses not only of Kangana but of the whole Mandi, Himachal and Bharat Ki Naari Shakti, “he wrote.

Smriti Irani came out for the defense of Ranaut. “This initiation to politics by the fire @Kanganateam is not a reflection on who you are, but on what they have done and are able to continue to do because they cannot understand how to manage women of steel . Walk on victory. Vijayi Bhav! wrote the Minister of the Union of Women and the Development of the Child.

“The Supriya Shrinate of Congress makes an unpleasant comment on Kangana Ranaut in an insta post. Is it so disgusting that you can’t help but ask how the congress collect so much dirt in one place? If the president of the Congress (Mallikarjun) Kharge has his say in the party, he must send it back immediately or resign, “said Amit Malviya, the head of the BJP in charge of the National Department of Information and Technology party.

The National Commission of Women said it was “dismayed by the shameful conduct” of the two leaders of the Congress. The chief of the NCW, Rekha Sharma, wrote to the Electoral Commission of India demanding immediate action against them.

Sexism is something that several politicians have been confronted. From Sonia Gandhi of the Congress to Smriti Irani of the BJP and Nirmala Sitharaman and President Droupadi Murmu, the first obstacle that these leaders are confronted is a prejudice.
