CISF constable's brother says she has no regrets over slapping Kangana
Chandigarh, Jun 11: CISF constable Kulwinder Kaur has no regrets over slapping actor and BJP MP Kangana Ranaut, her brother Sher Singh Mahiwal claimed on Tuesday.
Mahiwal, an organising secretary of the Kisan Mazdoor Sangharsh Committee in Kapurthala, said his sister was upset over Kangana's earlier remarks on the farmers' protest.
In a video message, Mahiwal said he met Kaur and discussed the incident with her.
"She has no regrets over this incident," he asserted.
He said his sister was upset over Kangana's remarks on the farmers' protest against the now-repealed farm laws and had slapped her as she got "carried away".
Had the Punjab government or the Centre taken action against the actor at that time, this incident would not have happened, he said.
On June 6, Kangana alleged in a video message that she was hit in the face and abused by a woman CISF constable during security check at the Chandigarh airport.
In the statement titled "Shocking rise in terror and violence in Punjab" posted on X after she landed in Delhi following the incident, Ranaut had said that her concern was that "terrorism and extremism are increasing in Punjab".
Another video doing the rounds on social media showed an agitated Kaur talking to people presumably after the incident.
"Kangana made a statement (earlier) that the farmers were protesting in Delhi because they were paid Rs 100 or Rs 200. At the time, my mother was one of the protesters," she had said in the purported video.
After the incident, the Mohali Police had booked Kaur under sections 323 (punishment for voluntarily causing hurt) and 341 (punishment for wrongful restraint) of the Indian Penal Code (IPC).

AIITA welcomes Karnataka’s ban on obscene songs in school events
Bhatkal: The Karnataka unit of the All India Ideal Teachers Association (AIITA) has welcomed the Karnataka government’s decision to strictly ban school children from dancing to obscene songs during educational and cultural programmes in government, aided, and private schools across the state.
AIITA Karnataka State President M. R. Manvi congratulated the government for taking what he termed an important step to preserve the sanctity of education.
“Such decisions to safeguard the dignity of school children and uphold the values of education are the need of the hour. This rule should not be limited to government schools alone but must be strictly implemented in all private educational institutions as well,” he said.
He further urged the government to address other concerns within school programmes.
“The government should not only prohibit obscene dances in the name of school anniversaries, but also ensure that plays and dialogues that incite religious hatred are avoided. Schools should be centres of harmony, not platforms for spreading hatred,” he added.
According to a recent circular issued by the Department of School Education and Literacy, obscene dances are adversely affecting the mental health and moral values of students.
In this regard, schools have been advised to use songs that promote nationalism, positive thinking, the greatness of Kannada culture, and value-based traditions instead of inappropriate content during programmes.
The circular also emphasises that students should be dressed in decent attire.
AIITA also backed the department’s warning that disciplinary action would be taken against head teachers if such guidelines are violated. The association has further demanded that district Deputy Directors of Public Instruction strictly monitor the implementation of these rules.
