Earlier in the day, SAD leader Simranjit Singh Mann responding to the BJP MP's recent remarks on the farmers' protests over the now-scrapped farm reform laws said, "I don't want to say this but Kangana Ranaut has a lot of experience of rape and you can ask her how rape happens so that people can be explained.
He suggested that Ranaut could provide insights into how rape occurs due to her supposed extensive experience with the issue.
"Just as you gain experience from riding a bicycle, similarly, they have experience with rape," he said.
