Kangana Ranaut slams former MP's 'rape experience' remark says 'India will never stop trivialising...'

BJP MP and actor Kangana Ranaut criticized former Punjab MP Simranjit Singh Mann for making objectionable comments that appeared to trivialize rape. Ranaut expressed her outrage on social media, stating, “It seems this country will never stop trivialising rape, today this senior politician compared getting raped to riding a bicycle.”

"No wonder rapes and violence against women for fun, is so deep rooted in the psyche of this patriarchal nation that it is casually used to tease or mock a woman even if she is a high profile filmmaker or politician," the Mandi MP said.

Mann, the president of Shiromani Akali Dal (Amritsar), made the controversial remarks in response to Ranaut's criticism of the farmers' protest against the now-repealed agricultural laws. 

"You can ask her (Kangana Ranaut) how rape happens so that people can be explained how rape happens. She has a lot of experience of rape," he said as per media reports. 

In an interview Ranaut suggested that a "Bangladesh-like situation" could have occurred in India if not for the country's strong leadership. She claimed that during the farmers' protest, there were incidents of "bodies hanging and rapes taking place."
