Now Punjab Chief Minister has expressed his view tays after newly-elected BJP MP, actor Kangana Ranaut, was slapped by a woman CISF constable at the Chandigarh airport, Bhagwant Mann, in his first reaction, on Monday said that the now-suspended CISF personnel's aggression stemmed from her "anger" towards the actor-turned-politician.

"That was anger. She (Ranaut) had said things earlier, and this made her (CISF constable) angry. This should not have happened," Mann told reporters.

Soon after the incident, Kulwinder Kaur, the assaulter, had pointed to statements made by Kangana on the year-long farmers' agitation, saying that her (Kulwinder's) own mother had participated in the protests.

Farmer unions in Punjab have taken out marches in support of Kulwinder Kaur.

The Punjab chief minister, meanwhile, further stated that Kangana's statement on Punjab after the incident, was "wrong."

"Despite being a public figure - both as a film star and an elected MP - saying that Punjab has terrorists, is wrong," the AAP leader remarked.

Family members of the accused CISF constable, who has since been booked, have also backed her, with her brother, who is also a farmer leader, saying that the family will 'fully support' his sister in the matter.

"I now understand that this happened during the checking of Kangana's mobile and purse. My sister must have become emotional and angry, and slapped her," said Sher Singh Mahiwal.
