On Wednesday, Kangana Ranaut, a member of the Bharatiya Janata Party, removed her remarks advocating for the reinstatement of the three contentious farm laws that were overturned in 2021. She clarified that her remarks were her own and not the party’s.
Kangana Ranaut went on to say that she regretted maybe disappointing a lot of people with her remarks regarding the controversial laws.
She stated in a video statement, “In the last few days the media asked me some questions on farmers’ law and I suggested that the farmers should request PM Modi to bring back the farmers’ law. Many people are disappointed and disheartened by my statement”
“When the farmers’ law was proposed, many of us supported it but our Prime Minister withdrew it with great sensitivity and sympathy. And it is the duty of all of us workers to respect the dignity of his words. I also have to keep this in mind. I am not an artist. I am a worker of the Bharatiya Janata Party and my opinions should be the party’s stand instead of being my own. So if I disappoint anyone with my words and my thinking, I will be sorry and I take my words back,” the BJP Mandi MP continued.
The politician and actor said that just a few states were experiencing opposition to the three farm legislation during a speech on Tuesday in the Mandi district.
“Farmers are a pillar of strength in India’s progress. Only in some states, they had objected to farm laws. I appeal with folded hands that farm laws should be brought back in the interest of farmers,” she had declared.
According to her, the nation is moving forward, and bringing back the farm laws would help farmers become more financially stable and flourish, which would ultimately help the agriculture industry.
“I know this statement could be controversial, but the three farm laws should be brought back. Farmers themselves should demand it,” she stated.
