Kushwaha demands withdrawal of Padmashree award from Kangana, says it was a mistake

Patna, Nov 13 (UNI) Chairman of JD(U) parliamentary board and former union minister Upendra Kushwaha on Saturday demanded forthwith withdrawal of Padmashree award given to Hindi film actress Kangana Ranaut, saying that felicitating her with this honour was a mistake of the
government.
Mr Kushwaha told media persons in Begusarai that Ms Ranaut was not such a prominent
personality deserving comment on her remark but she should not have been felicitated with
Padmashree award and it was a mistake of the government.
The best thing would be to withdraw the Padmashree award given to Hindi film actress, he noted.
JD(U) leader to a query of media persons regarding a statement of Ms Ranaut that Independence given to India in 1947 was not independence in true sense, as infact it was alms while the country attained real Independence in 2014 when Narendra Modi government came to power, said that she
did not deserve more comment than what he said.
He also expressed his annoyance over statements of leaders on Hindu and Muslim, saying instead
of raising real issues of public importance, attempt was being to take electoral mileage in Uttar
Pradesh assembly elections, by stirring communal sentiments.
As it is, Congress leader Salman Khurshid had compared Hindu activist with Jihadist of ISIS while another Congress leader Rashid Alvi had said that all Hindu activists raising slogans of 'Jai Sri Ram' were not saints and some of them were demons.
SP president Akhilesh Yadav had recently said that Mahatma Gandhi, Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru and Mohammad Ali Jinnah were product of same college and they all had participated in freedom struggle
of the country.
Mr Kushwaha was in Begusarai to pay tributes to slain Army officer Rishi Kumar. He was martyred
in landmine blast in Jammu and Kashmir recently.
