'India got independence in 2014': Nawab Malik furious at Kangana, said - arrest the actress, take back Padma Shri

Maharashtra minister and Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) leader Nawab Malik has hit out at actress Kangana Ranaut for describing India's independence in 1947 as 'begging' or begging, saying she insulted freedom fighters. Malik said the Center should withdraw his Padma Shri award and arrest him.

He said, 'It seems that Kangana Ranaut took a heavy dose of Malana cream before making such a statement.' Maharashtra Minister Nawab Malik on Kangana Ranaut's statement on the country's independence begging, said, 'Mohtarma Malana is speaking more about cream (a special variety of hash that grows exclusively in HP). The dosage of Malana cream has increased, so she is talking about ul-julul. We demand that the central government take back Kangana Ranaut's Padma Shri.

Apart from Nawab Malik, other politicians have also raised their voices for withdrawal of the award from the actress. Let us tell you that during a program on TV, Kangana Ranaut had even said that India got independence only after 2014 when the government led by Narendra Modi came to power. There has been a lot of ruckus about all these statements of his.

Senior Congress leader Anand Sharma termed Ranot's remarks as "shocking and derogatory" and urged President Ram Nath Kovind to withdraw the Padma award given to Ranaut. Former Haryana Chief Minister Bhupinder Singh Hooda termed his remarks as "inane".

Hindustani Awam Morcha president Jitan Ram Manjhi, whose party is in alliance with the NDA in Bihar, said that all news channels should boycott the actress from now on.

The Aam Aadmi Party has applied with the Mumbai Police demanding registration of a case against Ranaut. AAP's national executive member Preeti Sharma Menon termed the actress' remarks as "seditious and provocative".
