    Hours after the incident, the BJP MP-elect shared her side of the story on X (formerly Twitter). She said: “I am safe. I am perfectly fine. The incident took place during the security check. After I was done with the security check, a woman constable of the CISF waited for me to pass through the cabin. Later, she came from the side, hit me in the face and started abusing me. When I asked her why she did this, she told me that she (CISF official) had supported the farmers’ protest. My question is how we end growing extremism and terrorism in Punjab.”
