The Hindu
Kangana Ranaut had recently described India’s Independence as “bheek”, or alms, and declared that the country attained “real freedom” in 2014.
The Andaman and Nicobar unit of the Congress has lodged a complaint against actor Kangana Ranaut for describing India’s Independence in 1947 as ‘bheek’ or alms, a party statement said.
The written complaint was filed at Aberdeen Police Station in Port Blair by Andaman and Nicobar Pradesh Mahila Congress Committee zonal coordinator (South Andaman) Zubaida Begum on Wednesday, it said.
The Bollywood actor’s comment was absolutely “shocking and highly objectionable and in bad taste. It also defies decency, dignity and decorum, which is expected from a person who is conferred with one of the highest awards,” Andaman and Nicobar Territorial Congress Committee president Rangalal Halder said in the statement.
