Kangana executing BJP agenda but we will provide her security: Surjewala

New Delhi, September 7

The Congress on Monday accused actor Kangana Ranaut of acting on the BJP behest and carrying out their political agenda, further alleging that Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar and the saffron party in the state were politicising Sushant Singh Rajput’s death under a plan.

Congress chief spokesperson Randeep Surjewala on Monday said: “Kangana Ranaut has been provided Y security so that she can openly carry out BJP’s political agenda and criticise us and defame Maharashtra. While we stand up the actor’s right to dissent, no reasonable person can accept what she said about Mumbai comparing it with Pakistan occupied Kashmir.”

He said despite “a particular actor” carrying out the agenda of the BJP and Prime Minister Narendra Modi, we would ensure adequate protection for her.

“However, to describe the business capital of India as PoK, is naive, incorrect, political opportunism and reprehensible,” Surjewala added.

He also said the Congress rejected such unfounded and politically motivated allegations being hurled through actresses by the BJP, adding that the BJP and Nitish Kumar were “politicising” the Sushant Singh Rajput-Rhea Chakravarty issue to deflect people’s attention away from key issues and basic problems.
