BJP MP Varun Gandhi in a hard – hitting tweet has lashed out at Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut. Varun reacted angrily to the outspoken actress when during The Times Now conclave she apparently said “India got real independence in 2014”, and that “what we got in 1947 was ‘bheek’ (alms).”
Gandhi on twitter shared the video of the her speech and lashed out in a tweet in hindi , “Sometimes she insults Mahatma Gandhi’s sacrifice and penance, sometimes she lauds his killers, and now she has scorned the sacrifices of martyrs from Mangal Pandey to Rani Lakshmibai, Bhagat Singh, Chandrashekar Azad, Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose and lakhs of other warriors of India’s Independence movement. What do you call this thinking? Is it insanity or treachery?”
कभी महात्मा गांधी जी के त्याग और तपस्या का अपमान, कभी उनके हत्यारे का सम्मान, और अब शहीद मंगल पाण्डेय से लेकर रानी लक्ष्मीबाई, भगत सिंह, चंद्रशेखर आज़ाद, नेताजी सुभाष चंद्र बोस और लाखों स्वतंत्रता सेनानियों की कुर्बानियों का तिरस्कार।

In January this year, Kangana was called out for allegedly glorifying Nathuram Godse, the man who assassinated Mahatma Gandhi. On Gandhis death anniversary on January 30, the actress had posted few photos of Godse and tweeted, “Every story has three sides to it, yours, mine and the truth …. A good story teller neither commits nor conceals… and that’s why our text books suck … full of exposition #NathuramGodse.” She had also compared Mumbai to Pok ( Pak Occupied Kashmir)
Kangana was awarded the Padma Shri recently.
