'India got freedom in 2014': Kangana Ranaut gets court notice over remark

Jabalpur: On a petition contesting her statement that India gained true independence after 2014, Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) Lok Sabha Member of Parliament Kangana Ranaut has received notices from the special MP-MLA court in Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh.

During the hearing of a plea filed by counsel Amit Kumar Sahu, Special Court Judge Vishweshwari Mishra issued notices.

A petition was filed in 2021 after no action was taken on the complaint he filed at the Adhartal police station, claimed Sahu.

"Later, I filed complaint with the Superintendent of Police and then moved the High Court. The next hearing of the case will be on November 5. My main objection is that India got independence after the sacrifice of many freedom fighters but Kangana said it was 'bheekh' (alms). She claimed India got freedom in the true sense after 2014," he said.
