Mumbai: Bollywood actress and Padma Shri award winner Kangana Ranaut has created controversy aftershe made a statement on India’s independence. Kangana said in a TV channel program that we got freedom in alms.
Kangana said that the real freedom was found in 2014. After this statement, Kangana is on radar of many. Former Bihar Chief Minister and Hindustan Awam Morcha President Jitan Ram Manjhi has demanded that the Padma Shri award should be withdrawn from Kangana.
Tagging Rashtrapati Bhavan, Jitanram Manjhi tweeted that the Padma Shri award should be withdrawn from Kangana Ranaut without delay. He wrote that otherwise the world would understand that if Mahatma Gandhi, Jawaharlal Nehru, Bhagat Singh, Sardar Vallabhai Patel, Kalam, Mukherjee, Veer Savarkar begged, they got freedom.
He has also demanded that Kangana Ranaut should apologise for this statement. Jitanram Manjhi has also appealed to the channels to ban Kangana Ranaut. Kangana has recently been honored with the Padma Shri award.
Kangana Ranaut made a statement about independence in an interview. Kangana said that if freedom is found in begging, can it be freedom? Savarkar, Rani Laxmibai, leader Subhash Chandra Bose If I talk about these people, then these people knew that blood would shed but they should also remember that Hindustani-Hindustani should not shed blood. He paid the price for freedom, of course. But that was not freedom, it was begging. The freedom we got was given in 2014.
After this statement, Kangana is on the radar of political leaders. BJP MP from Philibit, Varun Gandhi wrote on Twitter that sometimes an insult to Mahatma Gandhi’s sacrifice and penance, sometimes honoring his killer and now from Shaheed Mangal Pandey to Rani Laxmibai, Bhagat Singh, Chandrashekhar Azad, leader Subhash Chandra Bose and lakhs of freedom fighters. Hatred of sacrifices. Should I call this thinking madness or treason?
