CHANDIGARH\/NEW DELHI, Mar 26: Every woman, irrespective of her background and profession, deserves dignity, actor Kangana Ranaut<\/a> said on Tuesday as Congress leaders\u2019 comments on Mandi from where she is contesting the Lok Sabha elections snowballed into a massive political row.
\nRanaut, who makes her political debut as a BJP candidate from Mandi in Himachal Pradesh, said she was particularly pained by the derogatory comments on the constituency that is often referred to as \u201cChhota Kashi\u201d the world over.
\nThe Congress has been in the crosshairs after demeaning remarks on Ranaut and Mandi were posted on the social media handles of its leaders Supriya Shrinate and H S Ahir.
\n\u201cWhatever be the profession of a woman, be it a teacher, actress, journalist, politician or a sex worker, all of them deserve dignity. I\u2019m pained especially because of the deplorable comments made about Mandi\u2026 All of us who come from Mandi have been hurt by the comments,\u201d Ranaut told reporters outside the Chandigarh airport.
\nAsked whether she plans to take any action against the two Congress leaders, the \u201cQueen\u201d actor, often in the news for her controversial comments on a range of issues, said she had been called to Delhi by BJP president J P Nadda and would respond only after meeting him.
\n\u201cI have to maintain the dignity of the party. I can\u2019t walk before it. I have to walk with them and follow their instructions,\u201d the 37-year-old said.
\nA host of BJP leaders, including Bansuri Swaraj, Amit Malviya and former Himachal Pradesh<\/a> chief minister Jai Ram Thakur, spoke up on the issue.
\nCongress spokesperson Shrinate said in her defence on Monday, when the controversy erupted, that many people have access to her Facebook and Instagram accounts and one of them made the inappropriate post. She also said she had deleted the post and will take action against a parody account that is using her name.
\nBut that had little impact.
\n\u201cIf your account is posting what a parody account posts, then it simply means that admins of both accounts are same. One has to be self conceited, to the point of being deranged, to do so. Also the admins must have very low opinion of you to post such offensive stuff and get away,\u201d Malviya said.
\nBansuri Swaraj, daughter of the late Sushma Swaraj and the party\u2019s candidate from New Delhi, said the top leadership of the Congress must apologise.
\n\u201cSuch derogatory words were used for someone who is India\u2019s daughter and a woman. This is very shocking, and has shown the mentality of the Congress. The top leadership of the Congress should apologise for this,\u201d she told .
\nThakur added in a statement that the remarks would be legally examined and the BJP was moving towards registering a case.
\nShrinate, he said, had made a \u201cbig mistake\u201d as people of faith come to Mandi, which is known as \u201cChhoti Kashi\u201d and is an abode for over 300 temples.
\n\u201cIt is unfortunate that being a woman herself, the Congress spokesperson has made such remarks against another woman and now she is trying to retract by saying that someone has used her other account,\u201d Thakur said.
\nUnion minister Smriti Irani and BJP\u2019s Chandigarh MP Kirron Kher have also added their voice to the chorus of condemnation. While Irani is a former TV actor, Kher continues to be a prominent face in Hindi films.
\nThere were others who backed Ranaut.
\nTargeting Shrinate, former Congress leader Sharmistha Mukherjee said, \u201cShe\u2019s saying \u2018access\u2019, not hacked! One gives access to SM accounts only to known & trusted people. Nothing left of Congress ideology with the Rahul-Congress gang. \u2018Nari Nyay\u2019 is nothing but an empty slogan by a bunch of hypocrites!\u201d
\nFormer diplomat Lakshmi Puri termed the remarks against the actor \u201cdespicable, derogatory & condemnable\u201d.
\n\u201cThat it should come from another woman politician is all the more galling \u2013 how can we as women become transmitters of toxic patriarchy & demeaning slurs & insults that scrape at the bottom of the barrel of indignity!\u201d she posted on X.
\nCongress spokesperson Pawan Khera took up cudgels on his colleague\u2019s behalf. \u201cAnybody who has known my colleague @SupriyaShrinate will vouch for the fact that she can never resort to such objectionable language ever.\u201d
\nCongress\u2019 Srinivas BV agreed that the remarks against Ranaut from Shrinate\u2019s account were \u201cabsolutely derogatory\u201d.
\nHowever, he also raked up Ranaut\u2019s past controversial statement in which she had called actor-politician Urmila Matondkar a \u201csoft porn star\u201d.
\nThe National Commission for Women (NCW) has written to the Election Commission demanding strict action against Shrinate and Ahir.
\n\u201cNational Commission for Women is appalled by the disgraceful conduct of Ms. Supriya Shrinate and Mr H S Ahir, who made lewd and derogatory remarks about @KanganaTeam on social media. Such behavior is intolerable and goes against the dignity of women\u2026 \u201d the NCW said in a post on Monday.
\nRanaut took the opportunity to hit out at Shrinate and remind her of the many roles she had done.
\n\u201cDear Supriya ji, in the last 20 years of my career as an artist I have played all kinds of women. From a naive girl in \u2018Queen\u2019 to a seductive spy in \u2018Dhaakad\u2019, from a goddess in \u2018Manikarnika\u2019 to a demon in \u2018Chandramukhi\u2019, from a prostitute in \u2018Rajjo\u2019 to a revolutionary leader in \u2018Thalaivii\u2019,\u201d Ranaut said in a post on X on Monday.
\n\u201cWe must free our daughters from the shackles of prejudices, we must rise above the curiosity about their body parts and above all we must refrain from using sex workers challenging lives or circumstances as some kind of abuse or slur\u2026 every woman deserves her dignity\u2026,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
