Kangana Ranaut Says Half The People At Gen-Z CJP Protest Were Of Shabana Azmi's Age Group

Actor and BJP MP Kangana Ranaut recently sparked controversy with her remarks claiming that some young Hindu women flaunt their freedom without accountability, referring to them as part of a ‘generation gutter’. Following intense backlash from opposition party members, Kangana has now issued a clarification. She stated that her comment about the ‘generation youth’ was meant to target only a select few individuals, not all young people. Scroll down to read the full story.

Kangana Ranaut Says Half The People At Gen-Z CJP Protest Were Of Shabana Azmi’s Age Group

On Thursday, Kangana posted a video on Instagram Stories to defend her statement. She explained, “Poore desh ke yuva? Agar aap sirf Gen Z ki baat karte hai, toh almost 30-35 crore ke paas inki population hone waali hai. Jo Jantar Mantar hai waha par 10,000 log ekhatta hue the jinme toh aadhey se jyada log toh Shabana Azmi-type log the, aapne dekha ki har type ke age group ghum rahe the. Agar hum yuvaon ki baat karte hain, Gen Z ki hum specifically baat karte hai toh lag bhag waha par 2000 Gen Z the, toh kaise ye log isko Gen Z protest keh rahe hai? Ki poore desh ki Gen Z protest kar rahe.”

(The youth of this country? If we speak of Gen Z, then the population is around 30-35 crore. About 10,000 people gathered at Jantar Mantar, among whom more than half were similar to Shabana Azmi-type individuals. People of all age groups were present. If we specifically talk about Gen Z, there were only about 2,000 of them. So how can this be called a Gen Z protest? Are we saying that the entire country’s Gen Z is protesting?)

She further clarified, “Ye jo yaha par nasal ikkathha hui thi, usi ke baare mein jo he maine specifically kaha tha. Main aapko open challenge deti hu, mera koi aisa specific quote bataiye jaha maine poori generation ko include kiya ho? Ye faltu ka agenda aap mere saath mat chalaiye! Main yuva-virodhi nahi ho sakti kyuki main khud yuva hoon.”

(It was about the crowd gathered here, and I spoke specifically about them. I challenge anyone to show me a quote where I included the entire generation. Don’t bring this useless agenda to me! I am not against the youth because I am one of them.)
