After
sparking
up
controversy
for
her
comment
on
India's
1947
Independence
at
the
Times
Now
summit,
Kangana
Ranaut
once
again
came
under
the
radar
after
her
statement
on
patriot
Mahatma
Gandhi
who
is
also
known
as
the
'Father
of
the
Nation.'
The
actress
had
taken
to
her
Instagram
stories
to
share
a
post
on
Gandhiji
that
did
not
go
down
well
with
many
netizens.
Now
a
Maharastra
minister
has
taken
a
dig
at
Kangana
for
the
same
and
called
her
a
'Nachnewali'
(nautch
girl).
According
to
a
news
report
in
PTI,
the
minister
who
goes
by
the
name
of
Vijay
Wadettiwar
stated
that
Kangana
Ranaut
is
a
dancer
girl
and
her
comments
on
Mahatma
Gandhi
does
not
make
any
sense
and
is
not
worthy
of
any
attention.
The
minister
was
quoted
to
reveal,
"If
some
nautch
girl
('Nachnewali')
levels
allegations
against
Mahatma
Gandhi,
I
do
not
consider
it
worthy
of
a
response.
Nine
out
of
ten
people
badmouth
her.
There
is
no
need
to
talk
more
about
her."
Not
only
this
but
Mahatma
Gandhi's
great-grandson
also
presumably
took
a
dig
at
Kangana
Ranaut
after
he
penned
a
statement
after
the
actress'
comment
on
the
legendary
patriot.
He
mentioned
that
one
has
to
be
extremely
brave
to
adapt
to
the
Gandhian
methodology.
A
part
of
his
statement
read
as,
"Those
who
allege
that
Gandhians
only
turn
the
other
cheek
and
are,
therefore,
cowards
cannot
understand
the
courage
required
to
be
so
brave.
They
are
incapable
of
understanding
such
heroism.
But
we
must
not
forget.
To
turn
the
other
cheek
is
not
the
act
of
a
coward.
It
takes
a
lot
of
courage,
and
Indians
of
that
time
displayed
it
in
abundance."
Earlier
the
Shiv
Sena
government
also
asked
for
Kangana
Ranaut
to
be
stripped
of
all
her
National
Awards
for
her
statement
on
India's
1947
Independence.
The
political
party's
statement
in
the
newspaper
Saamna
read
as
"The
Modi
government
should
strip
Kangana
of
all
her
national
awards.
Fake
nationalism.
Nobody
had
insulted
India's
freedom
fighters
in
such
a
manner
before
Kangana.
Recently
she
was
honoured
with
the
Padma
Shri
award
which
had
earlier
been
conferred
to
freedom
fighters."
