Abhijeet Dipke dismisses Kangana Ranaut’s ‘Gen Gutter’ comments: ‘Who takes her seriously?’
BJP MP Kangana Ranaut has faced backlash for her comments regarding Gen Z and student protesters, which she labeled as 'gutter-level' behavior. Political figures and public commentators have criticized her remarks, while she maintains that she is defending societal dignity.
Why it matters
The controversy underscores the ongoing culture wars in India and the polarized nature of political discourse involving public figures.
After her purportedly objectionable comments about Gen Z sparked controversy, actor and BJP MP Kangana Ranaut has doubled down on her criticism and shared a new selfie video to further elaborate on her statements. Cockroach Janta Party leader Abhijeet Dipke was also asked about Kangana's comments, to which he told news agency ANI, "Who even takes her seriously?" Meanwhile, without directly addressing the controversy, singer-composer Vishal Dadlani criticised those making a fuss over the alleged use of foul language during the recently concluded student protests, noting that they are conveniently ignoring the brutality shown by security personnel towards the protesters. Tearing into the "gutter-level, unethical, and obscene behaviour displayed by some protesters," Kangana stated that she refuses to "normalise" such actions.
