Simranjit Singh Mann, the Chief of the Shiromani Akali Dal (Amritsar), has been receiving severe backlash due to his reaction to actress and BJP politician Kangana Ranaut’s statement about the farmers’ protest. Singh Mann said that she has “Lot of experience of rape.”
Previously, in an earlier interview, Ranaut claimed that rapes took place and “bodies were hanging” during the farmers’ protests, which received severe criticism. And, reacting to her statement, the SAD Amritsar Chief said that one should check with Ranaut as to how rapes take place.

“I don’t want to say this, but Kangana Ranaut has a lot of experience of rapes… You can ask her how rape happens so that people can be explained how rape happens,” he said. He didn’t stop there and further said that just like a person has experience of riding a bicycle, Ranaut has the “experience of rapes.”
As soon as the video of his statement went viral, netizens slammed him for the disgusting remark about Ranaut, demanding strict action against him. “This piece of crap must be given belt treatment by the police,” a user wrote, while another stated, “You don’t like her statement on farmers protest, it’s okay, but this is disgusting. People should not blindly follow people like him and Kangana. Shame on you man.”
What Kangana said was based on facts, yet all leftist feminists attacked her, none of them will now speak out against this ridiculous statement undermining the modesty of women.

For those who don’t know, after she first made her remark, even the BJP distanced itself from Ranaut’s comment, saying it was her personal opinion and not the party’s view. Ranaut later said, “I was reprimanded by the party leadership, and that’s fine with me. I do not think I am the final voice of the party.”
