Kangana Ranaut targets Mahatma Gandhi: Offering another cheek, one can only get bheekh' not 'Aazadi'

Multi-hyphenate Kangana Ranaut is not done talking, not just yet, even after courting massive controversy with her recent 'India got freedom in 2014' remark. The actress has now said that Subhas Chandra Bose and Bhagat Singh got no support from Mahatma Gandhi, the Father of the Nation, and went on to take potshots at his practice of 'non-violence' by saying that offering another cheek only gets you 'bheekh' not freedom. She was alluding to her controversial statement from last week with her 'bheek' comment when she had described India's Independence as 'bheek' and went on to claim that the country got freedom only in 2014, when the Narendra Modi-led government came to power. Urging people to choose their leaders wisely, Kangana shared a series of Instagram posts in the Stories section that also featured an old news clipping headlined 'Gandhi, others had agreed to hand over Netaji'. She captioned the news clipping, 'Either you are a Gandhi fan or Nataji supporter You can't be both... Choose and decide.' Kangana, who is often seen ruffling feathers with her controversial statements then went on to claim and we quote: 'Those who fought for the freedom were 'handed over' to their masters by those who had no courage burning/ boiling hot blood to fight their oppressors but they were power hungry and cunning...Those are the ones who taught us, 'If someone slaps you offer another cheek for one more slap' and that is how you will get Aazadi. That's not how one gets Aazadi, one can only get bheekh like that. Choose your heroes wisely.' Furthermore, she said there was evidence that suggested Gandhi ji wanted Bhagat Singh to be hanged. She continued in another post, 'So you need to choose who you support because just placing them all in one box of your memory and every year wishing them all on their birth anniversaries is not enough. In fact, it is not just dumb, it is highly irresponsible and superficial. One must know their history and their heroes.' Kangana Ranaut's statement on India's Independence came weeks after she was presented the Padma Shri by President Ram Nath Kovind.
