Mumbai, Nov 12 (IANS) The Maharashtra Congress and Aam Aadmi Party have moved the Mumbai Police demanding action against Bollywood actress Kangana Ranaut for her recent "real freedom" statements that have sparked a nationwide political furore.
State Congress Working President Arif Naseem Khan lodged a complaint with Sakinaka Police Station seeking FIR under charges of treason against Ranaut for her remarks that "India got 'bheekh' (dole) in 1947, the 'real Freedom' came in 2014".
"This clearly tantamounts to treason and charges under the relevant laws must be filed against the actress," said Khan, who was accompanied by several party leaders like Jagdish Amin, M. Sharif Khan, Prabhakar J. and Maya Khot.
Condemning Ranaut, AAP National Executive member Preeti Sharma-Menon has submitted an application to the Andheri Police Station demanding action against the actress for her "seditious and inflammatory" utterances under the relevant laws.
"Thousands of freedom fighters made their supreme sacrifices to liberate the country from the tyranny of British rule. The contributions of stalwarts like Mahatma Gandhi, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patil, Maulana Abul Kalam Azad, Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, Shahid Bhagat Singh and others will always remain immortal," Khan said.
The great-grandson of Mahatma Gandhi, Tushar A. Gandhi labelled Kangana "an agent of hate, intolerance and rabidity" so it is not surprising she feels that India got her 'real freedom' in 2014 (when the BJP government came to power).
"Hatred, bigotry, sham patriotism and oppression were liberated in India in 2014 and a very poisonous and vicious ideology gained dominance, personified by Prime Minister Narendda Modi," Tushar Gandhi said without mincing words.
Besides Congress and AAP, other major state parties like Shiv Sena, Nationalist Congress Party have demanded Ranaut's arrest, stripping her of all the national honours/awards and an apology to the whole country for denigrating the Indian Freedom of 1947 when the country is celebrating the 75th year of Independence.
In the picture post, Kajol was seen sitting on a chair getting her hair and makeup done, holding a mirror in her hands. The actress is seen dressed in a black dress. Kajol was last seen in the film "Tribhanga".
At the time of publishing this report, Wikipedia mentions the actor's death as "suicide by hanging". Priyanka, who is a lawyer by profession, says Sushant's death is still under investigation by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and hence it should be mentioned as "under investigation".
Urvashi will next be seen in the web series "Inspector Avinash". The series is based on the life of Inspector Mishra and has Randeep Hooda essaying the title role.

Thereafter, Kundra, a British-Indian businessman, was being investigated by the Crime Branch-CID of Mumbai Police. "A case was registered with the Crime Branch about the creation of pornographic films and publishing them through some apps. We've arrested Raj Kundra in this case as he appears to be the key conspirator," said Nagrale.
"I'm all set to start filming for the new season with excitement and renewed energy. I get to show a different side of myself in season two and I can't wait to see what the audience will think about it.
