Prime Minister Narendra Modi, on Thursday, was reportedly trapped on a flyover for over 20 minutes by protesters in Punjab, what is being reported as a serious security lapse. The farmers were staging a protest, demanding the resignation of a cabinet minister whose son has been accused of the deaths of farmers. In a statement, the federal home ministry said, “This was a major lapse in the security of the PM.” Now, Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut has reacted to this.
Taking to her Instagram story, the Queen actress expressed her thoughts on PM Modi's security lapse and called it 'shameful'. She said it’s an "attack on every Indian and on our democracy". Kangana wrote, “What happened in Punjab is shameful, Honourable Prime Minister is democratically elected leader/representative/voice of 1.4 billion people, an attack on him is an attack on every single Indian… it is an attack on our democracy itself, Punjab is becoming a hub for terroristic activities if we don’t stop them now nation will have to pay a big price #bharatstandswithm.”
Meanwhile, as per BBC report, Punjab Chief Minister Charanjit Singh Channi denied reports of a security lapse on the part of his government. He said, “We had asked them [Prime Minister's office] to discontinue the visit due to bad weather and protests. We had no information of [the] sudden change in route. There was no security lapse during the PM's visit.”
It is being said that PM Modi, who was supposed to fly to the National Martyrs' Memorial and later to the rally in a helicopter, went by road due to bad weather. He was expected to address a rally in Ferozepur city but the prime minister's convoy returned to the airport due to the security lapse.
