Delhi Commission for Women chief Swati Maliwal on Friday slammed Bollywood actor Kangana Ranaut for her remarks on the country’s independence. Ranaut had kicked off a row on Thursday by declaring that India attained “real freedom” in 2014, when the Narendra Modi-led government came to power, and describing the country’s Independence in 1947 as “bheek”, or alms.
“The freedom attained due to Bhagat Singh, Azad and Gandhi seem like ‘bheek’ to her and she calls ‘satta ki ghulami’ (being a slave to those in power) real freedom. Did she get a national award for such thinking?” Maliwal tweeted in Hindi, while sharing Ranaut’s video clip in which she made the comments.

भगत सिंह, आज़ाद और गांधी की आज़ादी इन्हें भीख लगती है और सत्ता की गुलामी का मज़ा ले उसे असल आज़ादी बताती हैं. ऐसी सोच के लिए ही राष्ट्र पुरस्कार मिला है? pic.twitter.com/qOyNsglirO

In another tweet, Maliwal said she had written to President of India demanding that her Padma Shri be revoked. “She deserves treatment not award,” Maliwal wrote about Ranaut.
कंगना रनाउत ऐसी महिला है जिसे गांधी भगत सिंह की शहादत मज़ाक़ लगती है और लाखों लोगों की त्याग तपस्या से हासिल आज़ादी भीख लगती है! इसको पुरस्कार की नही इलाज की ज़रूरत है! मैंने राष्ट्रपति को पत्र लिखा है कि तुरंत रनाउत का पद्म श्री वापिस लेके उसपे राष्ट्रद्रोह की FIR होनी चाहिए! pic.twitter.com/GqlwwUSpfK
