Recently one of the prominent Bollywood actresses and the Padma Shri Award Winner Kankana Ranaut stated that India’s independence in 1947 was not “freedom” but it was a ‘bheek’ (alms) from British Emperors.
She further stated that India got real independence in 2014 when the Narendra Modi-led government came into power.
Earlier she also alleged that Mahatma Gandhi purposely let Bhagat Singh die and he did not support Subhash Chandra Bose.
Kangana Ranaut is widely known for making such kind of controversial statements frequently.
By making such kind of controversial statement, she has insulted those millions of freedom fighters who gave up their lives to ensure the present generations can live their life as a free citizens of India with self-respect and dignity.
Her statement i.e. “Whatever independence India got it in 1947 that was not “freedom” but the same was a ‘bheek’ (alms) from British Emperors” has invited widespread criticism across the country.
Leaders from various political parties and many prominent Indian personalities are now asking the government and the police officials to take appropriate criminal action against her.
Indian National Congress strongly asked the central government has to take back the Padma Shri award from Kangana Ranaut that was accorded to her in 2020. It’s leaders stated that the Kangana Ranuat insulted the country’s independence movement and the efforts of the freedom fighters,
Shiv Sena party leaders are now furious about her statement, and they wants a sedition case to be filed against Kangana.
The furious Varun Gandhi said that her statement was purely an anti-national act and she should get appropriate punishment for making such a anti-national statement.
Instead of retracting her statement, Kangana Ranaught is still adamant in justifying her statement. She is now telling that she would return her Padma Shri Award if someone tells her what happened in 1947.
Being an Indian, she wants others to tell what was really happened in 1947. It means she does not know the history of India’s independent struggle and it’s subsequent positive results.
It seems she wanted to make Narendra Modi happy by making such a controversial statement i.e. “India got real independence in 2014 when the Narendra Modi-led government came into power”
By making such a statement, she has completely forgotten those Indian leaders such as Jawharlal Nehru, Sardar Vallabhai Patel, Ambedkar, Indira Gandhi, Rajiv Gandhi, A.B. Bajpayee, Narasimha Rao,etc who put a solid foundation for the growth and development of the country. She also forgotten that they have developed India from the scratch.
Narendra Modi became Prime Minister of India at a time when India was witnessing widespread development in the entire sector. As India’s growth engine was intact, Modi government does not require to take much efforts in developing the country.
Now the people are asking what kind of special freedom she got it just after Narendra Modi became Prime Minister of india.
