The controversy escalated when actress and politician Kangana called Gen Z \u2018Generation Gutter.\u2019<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:0\"\/><\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"word-break:break-word;text-align:left;white-space:pre-line\">Kangana had targeted the CJP-led movement over alleged irregularities in the NEET exam through Instagram Stories on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"word-break:break-word;text-align:left;white-space:pre-line\"><span class=\"e913fbaa d3886593\"><strong>Das questions Kangana&#8217;s mental state<\/strong><\/span><strong\/><\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"word-break:break-word;text-align:left;white-space:pre-line\">Reacting to Kangana&#8217;s post, Saurav Das said that her language is inappropriate. Questioning Kangana&#8217;s mental state, he accused her of trying to take advantage of the \u2018CJP wave.\u2019<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:0\"\/><span style=\"font-size:0\"\/><\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"word-break:break-word;text-align:left;white-space:pre-line\">Das told PTI, &#8216;These words don&#8217;t seem to be from a mentally stable person. If you have a Gen Z or Gen Alpha youth in your family, would you use such language for them?&#8217;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"word-break:break-word;text-align:left;white-space:pre-line\"><span class=\"e913fbaa d3886593\"><strong>Das also takes dig at her work as MP<\/strong><\/span><strong\/><\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"word-break:break-word;text-align:left;white-space:pre-line\">Saurav Das also took a jibe at Kangana&#8217;s work as an MP. He said, &#8216;I don&#8217;t have much to say about Kangana Ranaut, even members of her own party don&#8217;t take her seriously. There are videos from her constituency where she is telling people that you people make me work so much. I thought that after becoming an MP there wouldn&#8217;t be much work, but here I have to work every day. This is her seriousness towards her work.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"word-break:break-word;text-align:left;white-space:pre-line\"><span class=\"e913fbaa d3886593\"><strong>Kangana&#8217;s counterattack: &#8216;You are unemployed and useless&#8217;<\/strong><\/span><strong\/><\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"word-break:break-word;text-align:left;white-space:pre-line\">Kangana responded through Instagram stories. She wrote, &#8216;I googled this person and he is 28 years old. He calls himself a student, how? I don&#8217;t know.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"word-break:break-word;text-align:left;white-space:pre-line\">On the criticism of her work as an MP, Kangana said that she may be new to politics, but has been in public life for the past 20 years.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"word-break:break-word;text-align:left;white-space:pre-line\">Kangana said, &#8216;At his age, I had two National Awards. As a new MP, I was burdened with workload because I am also a filmmaker, artist, writer, and entrepreneur. But a completely useless and unemployed person like him will never understand what it means to be in demand all the time.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"word-break:break-word;text-align:left;white-space:pre-line\">She further said, &#8216;Dear Saurav, your issues are personal. You are not a student, just useless. Start learning some skill, this is a good place to begin.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"word-break:break-word;text-align:left;white-space:pre-line\"><span class=\"e913fbaa d3886593\"><strong>What is the &#8216;Generation gutter&#8217; controversy?<\/strong><\/span><strong\/><\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"word-break:break-word;text-align:left;white-space:pre-line\">This debate started a day after Kangana called young protesters &#8216;Generation Gutter&#8217;. She had asked, &#8216;Who is giving birth to them and raising them?&#8217;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"word-break:break-word;text-align:left;white-space:pre-line\">Kangana had said, &#8216;I have never seen such ugliness in one place in my life. These reels of Gen Z protests are nauseating. The way they are talking and the kind of language they are using is very vulgar.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"word-break:break-word;text-align:left;white-space:pre-line\">The BJP MP also criticised young women participating in the protests and called their behavior &#8216;most horrific&#8217;. She said, &#8216;This is a new generation of so-called westernized Indian women. I call them Generation Gutter.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"word-break:break-word;text-align:left;white-space:pre-line\">She also stated that some women protesters are &#8216;so ugly and corrupt that they cannot even become homemakers.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"word-break:break-word;text-align:left;white-space:pre-line\">Kangana&#8217;s comments have been criticised by opposition leaders including Congress, the Samajwadi Party, and AIMIM, as well as social media users. They have called these comments insensitive and offensive.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" style=\"word-break:break-word;text-align:left;white-space:pre-line\">Notably, the CJP-led protests ended on 25 July when the government accepted key demands of the protesters, including the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size:0\"\/><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A war of words has erupted between BJP MP Kangana Ranaut and Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) spokesperson Saurav Das.
