Kangana Ranaut caused a new controversy on Wednesday with a social media post discussing Mahatma Gandhi and ex-Prime Minister Lal Bahadur Shastri. On his birthday, the Lok Sabha MP diminished Mahatma Gandhi’s status as the “Father of the Nation.”

The actress, who had received criticism for her remarks on the farmers’ demonstrations, honored Shastri on his 120th birthday celebration this past Wednesday.

66 Fathers of the nation are not fathers, they are the beloved of the nation. India has sons, not fathers, of Mother India. Ranaut wrote on her Instagram Stories that these sons of Mother India are blessed. In a subsequent post, the actor also gave credit to Prime Minister Narendra Modi for continuing Mahatma Gandhi’s legacy of cleanliness in the nation.

Ranaut faced criticism from Congress leader Supriya Shrinate for her disrespectful comment about Mahatma Gandhi in a post about Shastri and Gandhi, sparking a new controversy.

BJP MP Kangana made a rude comment on Mahatma Gandhi’s birthday. Worshippers of Godse differentiate between Bapu and Shastri ji. Will Narendra Modi forgive the new Godse supporter in his party with all his heart? There is the Nation’s Father, there are offspring, and there are those who sacrificed their lives. In a post on X, Shrinate commented that everyone should be treated with respect. Prior to the Lok Sabha elections in March of this year, Shrinate was caught up in a scandal involving a controversial post related to the actor.

Manoranjan Kalia, a Punjab senior BJP leader, also condemned Ranaut for her recent comments. I criticize Kangana Ranaut’s remarks on Gandhi ji’s 155th birthday. Kalia stated in a video on social media that in her brief political tenure, she has formed a tendency to make provocative remarks.

She is not involved in politics. Politics should be taken seriously. It is important to consider carefully before talking. He mentioned that her contentious comments are creating problems for the party.

The actor, who became an MP in June, recently received criticism for supporting the reinstatement of the three farm laws revoked in 2021 and claiming that the farmers’ protest against the laws was causing a situation in India similar to that of Bangladesh.
