Kangana Ranaut vs CJP: 'Gutter generation' remarks, backlash and then a clarification
Kangana Ranaut faced backlash after calling young protesters the "gutter generation" in an Instagram post. The controversy followed the July 25 end of the 36-day NEET agitation. Opposition parties criticised the BJP MP for her remarks. Spokesperson Ashutosh Ranka said, "Coming out of the gutter, the cockroach movement got a minister to resign."
