Kangana Says ‘We Got Real Freedom In 2014’, Varun Gandhi Replies ‘Madness Or treason?’
Mumbai: Reacting to Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut’s remark that India got true independence in 2014, BJP MP Varun Gandhi on Thursday asked whether he should call the idea “madness” or “‘treason'”.
Kangana Ranaut’s video has now gone viral on social media as many celebrities have strongly criticized Kangana’s words.
Attending the annual summit of a national media network, guest speaker Kangana spoke about India’s freedom struggle. “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.)”
“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.

For her upcoming movie Tejas, Kangana recently visited the Andaman, Nicobar islands and was there at Veer Savarkar’s cell. The actor said history has been distorted by omitting many parts and depriving many heroes of their due credit.
“The British were acutely aware that blood will flow but they decided whose blood will flow. It should not be their blood. And for that, they needed some people who could help them so that India blood flows but not theirs. These are the people who are labelled as liberals or the Congress. When you got conquered after a fight, how can you get independence as ‘bheekh’,” the actor asked.
