Mumbai: Criticising Mamata Banerjee for demanding a Supreme Court-monitored probe into NCP leader Ajit Pawar’s death in a plane crash, Kangana Ranaut suggested that the West Bengal CM should restrain herself from making such lowly comments.
The actress-turned-politician was asked about Mamata’s statement when she was leaving Parliament.
“Hum sab bahut shokh mein hain ke itna bada hadsa subha subha hua hai. Aaj Parliament mein sab yeh hi baat kar rahe hain… Sab log helicopter se safar karte hain, hum log bhi iss tarahn se travel karte hain (We are all in deep grief that such a major tragedy occurred early in the morning. Everyone in Parliament was talking about it today… People often travel by helicopter, and we also travel in the same way),” Kangana said.
“Toh iss samay par itni neech baatein karna… unko thoda sanyam apnana chahiye (So, at a time like this, to make such low brow remarks… she should exercise some restraint),” the MP from Himachal’s Mandi said.
On Wednesday, Mamata alleged that all other agencies are compromised, and hence sought a Supreme Court-monitored investigation into the Baramati tragedy as Pawar and four others were killed after the chartered plane crashed just before landing.
In a public speech Mamata said, “Even political leaders are not safe in this country, let alone common people.”
In a video shared by PTI, she is heard saying, “Two days ago, I came to know that someone from another party had given a statement that Ajit Pawar was willing to leave the BJP (ruling alliance in Maharashtra), and now this has happened today.”
“We have trust only in the Supreme Court and no other agency. All (central) agencies have been completely compromised,” Mamata added.
Pawar was on way to addressing public rallies ahead of Zilla Parishad elections.
