As reported by ANI, Kangana Ranaut talked about the current situation in Punjab stating, ''Punjab is a part of India and will always be. Nobody can separate it.'' She also asserted that a unified India holds immense power and a group of people from any state, be it Punjab, Tamil Nadu or Himachal Pradesh, demand for their own country, does not mean their wishes can be fulfilled. 

Reiterating her statement, the actor said, ''Nobody can just cut off a part of their body and give it away. Be it Punjab, Tamil Nadu or Himachal Pradesh, a part of the body can't be cut off and just given away.'' 

As per ANI's tweet, Kangana Ranaut added, ''Punjab has always been India's part. Just because people raise issue for their own country,doesn't mean we give them part of our country. Such hooligans are internationally funded terrorists. Common citizenry doesn't support them,we're Bhartiyas & need Akhand Bharat''

Additionally, Ranaut weighed in on the crimes and atrocities taking place in the country and opined that all crimes such as 'Jihad, murder, rapes' and more need to have severe consequences. She also urged the government to take stringent actions against such criminals.
