'Atleast she is alive', Swara Bhasker comments on Kangana Ranaut's CISF slap incident

Actress Swara Bhasker, who is regarded as one of the most outspoken individuals in the entertainment business, has finally reacted to Kangana Ranaut's slap incident. The newly elected MP was being hit by a CISF member at the Chandigarh airport while she was traveling to Delhi. Speaking about it, Bhasker called out the violence while also pointing out  that in the past Kangana has used her social media accounts to justify violence. 

In an interview with Connect Cine, Swara said, “Anybody who is a reasonable person will say that whatever happened with Kangana was wrong… There is nobody who will justify the violence or an act of assault which Kangana suffered. So yes, what happened with her was wrong and shouldn’t have happened. It is not right to assault anyone”.

She went on to say, “Kangana just got slapped–and even that should not have happened–but at least she is alive, and has her security around. In this country, people have lost their lives, they’ve been lynched to death, shot dead in a train by a security personnel, in riots, security personnel have been recorded beating up people. Jo log ye saare acts ko justify kar rahe hai, woh phir aake Kangana ke case pe hume mat sikhao. (Anyone who justifies these acts should not feel offended in Kangana's case)”

She also recalled during the interview how one of Kangana’s tweets had ‘almost called for a genocide’. Swara also mentioned that Kangana tried to justify Will Smith slapping Chris Rock at the Oscars.

She added, “The problem with the Kangana case is that she herself has used her platform to justify violence. Her past tweets resurfaced, including the one for which she was banned from Twitter, where she has almost called for a genocide… Then she had also justified Will Smith slapping Chris Rock at the Oscars, saying that if her mother or sister was abused, she would have also slapped someone. So now what do you say? What happened to her wasn’t right, and the one who did that has already been suspended and punished. So there, justice has been served, but those who have been killed in the last ten years in the country, the perpetrators are roaming free,” she added.
