Netizens Troll Kangana Ranaut : Bollywood actor Kangana Ranaut's comment that India got true freedom in 2014 is attracting all kinds of attention on social media. BJP MP Varun Gandhi reacted to her comment exclaiming whether her comment should be considered 'madness' or 'treason'. Besides him, several other celebrities have criticised what Kangana said.
It all started when guest speaker Kangana talked about India's freedom struggle at the annual summit of a national media network. “Woh azaadi nahi thi, woh bheek thi. Aur jo azaadi mili hai woh 2014 mai mili hai (That wasn’t freedom, those were alms. We got real freedom in 2014.), she had said.
"Sometimes an insult to the sacrifice and penance of Mahatma Gandhi, something showing respect to his killer and now this disdain for the sacrifices of millions of freedom fighters starting from Mangal Pandey to Rani Laxmibai, Bhagat Singh, Chandrashekhar Azad, Netaji and more. Should I call this thought process madness or treason," Varun Gandhi who has become vocal against his own party tweeted sharing the viral video.
