"Kangana Ranaut has made fun of the sacrifices of Mahatma Gandhi and Bhagat Singh. The freedom struggles of millions of Indians seems like a joke to her. She doesn't need an award, she needs treatment. I have written a letter to the president to take away the Padma Shri honour from her and a case should be lodged against her," DCW Chief Maliwal tweeted in Hindi.
"Her behaviour is in no way befitting of the recipient of the fourth-highest award in the country and is also an insult to the stalwarts who received the award with or before her. Considering the same, I request your honourable self to kindly take cognizance of the matter and withdraw the Padma Shri bestowed upon Ms. Ranaut. I also request you to kindly ensure that an FIR is registered against her on charges of sedition," Maliwal wrote in her letter.
“The revolt of 1857, the Champaran Satyagrah, the Khilafat movement, the Quit India movement, the Dandi March, the non-cooperation movement and countless other protests and the sacrifices of millions of Indians who participated in the same have been demeaned and belittled by Ms. Ranaut through her insensitive and thoughtless lies,” the letter reads.
"Everything is very clearly mentioned in the same interview 1857 first collective fight for freedom along with the sacrifice of greats like Subhash Chandra Bose, Rani Laxmibai, and Veer Savarkar ji. 1857 I know but which war took place in 1947 I am not aware, if someone can bring to my awareness I will give back my Padma Shri and apologise also please help me with this," she wrote.
