Kangana Ranaut, a BJP member of parliament, has expressed regret over her previous statement suggesting that the three farm laws, which were at the center of the farmers' protests in 2020, should be reinstated. Speaking to reporters in her Lok Sabha constituency of Mandi, Himachal Pradesh, the actor-politician had earlier said that the laws, which were repealed by the government of Prime Minister Narendra Modi in November 2021 after extensive protests, "should be brought back" and that "farmers themselves should demand it." However, the BJP has distanced itself from Ranaut's comments, stating that her statement does not represent the party's position on the farm bills.
The actor acknowledged that as a BJP worker, her personal opinions should reflect the party's stance. She expressed regret if her comments had disappointed anyone and retracted her words. Kangana Ranaut's recent film is facing censorship challenges, and she has been reprimanded by the BJP before for her remarks on the farmers' protests. The actor had made controversial statements, including comparing the protests to a potential "Bangladesh-like situation" and allegedly misidentifying a woman farmer. These comments faced criticism from opposition parties. The given text discusses the reactions of political leaders to actor Kangana Ranaut's comments on the farm laws. The Congress party spokesperson Supriya Shrinate said that more than 750 farmers were killed, and only then did the government withdraw the controversial farm laws. However, BJP MPs are now planning to reintroduce these laws. Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leaders Balbir Singh and Malvinder Singh Kang criticized Ranaut, stating that she does not understand the farm laws and her comments are an insult to the farmers, including the 750 who lost their lives in the protests. They called on the Prime Minister to take action against Ranaut if he truly supports the farmers.
