Disgruntled BJP MP and scion of the Gandhi family, Varun Gandhi, on Thursday (November ), said National Award winning actress Kangana Ranaut who just received the Padma Shri Award is either mad or treasonous.
Gandhi made this statement after Ranaut who was speaking at the Times Now conclave said that “India received freedom in 2014 and what it got in 1947 was “alms”. To this statement Varun Gandhi sent out a tweet in which he asked the actress to clarify if her thinking was “madness or treason.”
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।

इस सोच को मैं पागलपन कहूँ या फिर देशद्रोह? pic.twitter.com/Gxb3xXMi2Z
Varun Gandhi was enraged when Kangna Ranaut said “That was not freedom but ‘bheekh’ (alms), and the freedom came in 2014.”
He then accused Ranaut of insulting the sacrifice o various freedom fighters and said, “Insulting the sacrifice of Mahatma Gandhi sometimes, respecting his killer sometimes, and now the disdain for the sacrifices of Mangal Pandey, Rani Laxmibai, Bhagat Singh, Chandrashekhar Azad, Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose and lakhs of freedom fighters. Should I call this thinking madness or treason?”
