Amidst the political heat, Bollywood actor Kangana Ranaut has taken a firm stand against blatant sexism and derogatory remarks. Following a series of abusive attacks, including being labeled a prostitute by Congress leaders, Kangana has declared war on such misogynistic behavior. The controversy ignited when Congress social media chief Supriya Shrinate made a distasteful remark targeting BJP's Mandi candidate, drawing widespread condemnation. In a swift response, Kangana Ranaut condemned the Congress party for demeaning women and emphasized the importance of respecting women in every profession. She also criticized the attempt to sexualize the holy town of Mandi, known as Chhota Kashi. The BJP rallied behind Kangana, supporting her stance against the slanderous attacks and lodging a complaint with the Election Commission. However, Congress retaliated by recalling Kangana's past remarks against fellow actor-turned-politician Urmila Matondkar. The National Women's Commission has intervened, urging the Election Commission to take action against those indulging in verbal abuse against Kangana. As the controversy unfolds, the question arises whether Congress's derogatory remarks against Kangana, a prominent female figure, will negatively impact the party's standing among women voters in the upcoming elections.
