Cockroaches spreading their filth, who is birthing them?: Kangana Ranaut on CJP-led protests
Actor and BJP MP Kangana Ranaut has kicked up a row with her social media tirade against those who took part in the Cockroach Janata
Actor and BJP MP Kangana Ranaut has kicked up a row with her social media tirade against those who took part in the Cockroach Janata Party-led protests, calling Gen Z as "generation gutter" and their videos from the agitation "puke inducing". Her remarks came days after the 36-day agitation, led by the CJP along with students and civil society groups, ended on July 25 after the government accepted the protesters' key demands, including the resignation of then Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan. In a post on Instagram on Monday (July 27, 2026), the BJP MP from Himachal Pradesh's Mandi described videos of protestors at Jantar Mantar a display of "filth, garbage and ugliness". "Never in my life I have seen so much ugliness in one place, these reels from GenZ protests are puke inducing, the way they speak and the kind of language they are using, never in my life I have seen everything in each and every frame so jarring and so crass all at ones, ewwww who is birthing and raising them?" Ms. Ranaut said. "India is a place of diversely beautiful people, draped in elegance and rooted in cultural sophistication, you call yourself cockroaches and look/ behave like them as well there is no paradox or juxtaposition there, just simply subjecting the world to your filth, garbage and ugliness.
I am scarred from these reels, need some healing, digital detox," she added. In another post, the actor took aim at young women participating in the protests, saying their behaviour during the agitation was "most appalling". "Women who are truly independent they make rebellious choices, bold opinions, unconventional career moves and they take accountability for their actions. They have to cos they are on their own. They don't do this at the cost of their parents or families," she added. "Here is a new generation of so called westernised Indian women. I call them Generation gutter," she said. Ranaut said some of the women protestors were "so ugly and corrupt that they can't be home makers either". "They proudly flaunt their freedom to have drugs, drinks or endless body counts and shamelessly live off their patents earnings and constantly fight to live independent lives without actually being independent. "Gentle reminder independent life needs to be earned. If you try to live independently without accountability, you are just a distorted entity, gutter chaap," she added. In her latest post on Tuesday (July 28, 2026), Ms. Ranaut defended those who have confronted protesters over their social media content, saying criticism and backlash were inevitable consequences of their actions. "Protesters who are getting beaten and abused on the roads by ordinary people because of their filthy and abusive reels must understand that if you speak, you also have to be prepared to listen.
