The Maharashtra Congress has decided to register a complaint against her with Mumbai police, state unit chief Nana Patole said.
Legal action will be taken against actor Kangana Ranaut for her derogatory remarks against Mahatma Gandhi, the Maharashtra Congress -- part of the state's ruling alliance -- has said. The party has decided to register a complaint against her with Mumbai police, state party chief Nana Patole has been quoted as saying by news agency ANI.
Kangana Ranaut, known for her incendiary comments, has been widely criticised for her "bheekh" (alms) remark -- directed this time against Mahatma Gandhi.
Last week, the actor had described India's Independence as "bheekh", and declared that freedom came in 2014, when the Narendra Modi-led government came to power.
This time, sharing an old news clipping headlined "Gandhi, others had agreed to hand over Netaji" on Instagram, Ms Ranaut commented: "Either you are a Gandhi fan or Nataji supporter You can't be both... Choose and decide".
