Demonstration in front of Kangana Ranaut’s house people demands Padma Shri award be taken back

Kangana Ranaut is one of the most outspoken Bollywood celebrities and this is why she is one of the most controversy friendly celebrities in the industry. Recently the actress made headlines due to her recent controversial statement.

The actress kicked off another debate on Thursday as she stated that India attained “real freedom” in 2014 when the Narendra Modi-led government came to power and described India’s Independence in 1947 as “bheek”.

Now, this has hurt many people’s feelings and several sections of citizens demanded her apology as well as asked the government to take back her Padma Award. recently protests erupted outside her house when a group of the NSUI staged a protest and demanded that her Padma Shri award be taken back for ‘insulting’ the brave freedom fighters and martyrs.

Besides the protest, several politicians from the ruling party and the opposition have slammed the actress for Kangana’s comment.

Delhi BJP leader Praveen Shankar Kapoor was the latest to demand that the judiciary take action against her.

“Being the son of a freedom fighter and coming from a family of freedom fighters, I find Kangana Ranaut’s remarks that India’s freedom was alms (bheekh) as the biggest misuse of freedom and an insult to the sacrifice made by freedom fighters. I wish the judicial system of India takes cognizance,” Kapoor said in a tweet in Hindi on Thursday.

Hindustani Awam Morcha president Jitan Ram Manjhi slammed the actress for her controversial statements and demanded that the Padma Shri conferred upon her be “withdrawn forthwith”.
