On Tuesday, actor Kangana Ranaut shared an old article and stated that one either support Mahatma Gandhi or Subhas Chandra Bose. “You can’t be both, choose and decide,” she stated. Actor Kangana Ranaut has yet again stirred up controversy together along with her perspectives on India’s independence warfare towards British rule. Last week, whilst talking at a summit she stated that India’s freedom changed into a ‘bheekh (handout)’. On Tuesday, she stood by her statement and suggested people to pick out their heroes wisely.
On Tuesday, Kangana shared an old newspaper article and wrote, “Either you are a Gandhi fan or Netaji supporter. You can’t be both, choose and decide.” The newspaper had an old article from the 1940s with the headline, “Gandhi, others agreed to hand over Netaji.” Kangana Ranaut shared an old article on Instagram. Kangana stated that freedom fighters were ‘handed over’ to the British by those ‘who had no courage’ to fight oppression but were ‘power-hungry’. She took potshots at Mahatma Gandhi and stated, “Those are the ones who taught us, if someone slaps you offer another cheek for one more slap and that is how you will get aazaadi. That’s not how one gets aazadi, one can only get bheekh like that. Choose your heroes wisely.”
Kangana claimed that Gandhi ‘in no way supported’ Bhagat Singh or Subhas Chandra Bose. “So you need to choose who you support because just placing them all in one box of your memory and every year wishing them all on their birth anniversaries is not enough. In fact, it is not just dumb, it is highly irresponsible and superficial. One must know their history and their heroes,” she stated.
A few days ago, the 34-yr-old Padma Shri awardee stated all through the Times Now Summit that India’s independence in 1947 was not freedom but ‘bheekh’ (alms) and the country got actual independence in 2014 while the Narendra Modi-led authorities got here into power. The feedback drew flak from numerous politicians and others.
The Congress on Friday demanded that the Centre take back Kangana’s Padma Shri honour for insulting the country’s independence movement.
