A troubling incident occurred at Chandigarh airport where CISF jawan Kulwinder Kaur slapped actress Kangana Ranaut. This event has sparked mixed reactions, with some critics of Ranaut expressing covert or overt approval. However, this incident raises serious concerns about the impartiality and professionalism of our security forces.

The Central Industrial Security Force (CISF) is responsible for protecting not only airports but also highly sensitive installations such as nuclear reactors, space establishments, ports, oil fields, and power plants. The inability of security personnel to rise above personal grudges or religious issues is a worrying sign for national security.

The need for the CISF to implement sensitization and thorough screening for radicalization among its personnel has become urgent. Failure to do so could lead to far graver consequences than a slap at an airport—potential threats could escalate to assassination attempts or even nuclear sabotage.

This incident also highlights a broader issue: the government's leniency towards radical groups. By not addressing these elements firmly, we risk seeing more such incidents. Kulwinder Kaur’s actions might even pave her way into politics, as we've seen before with individuals who gained support after committing or being related to high-profile acts of violence.

It's expected that Kulwinder Kaur will face consequences for her actions, potentially losing her job. However, some believe this might have been her intention, using the incident to catapult herself into political limelight, much like other controversial figures in the past.

The CISF and the government must take immediate steps to ensure that security personnel are free from radical influences, ensuring the safety and integrity of the sensitive installations they guard.
