Sikh students’ assn serves legal notice to Kangana Ranaut

Jamshedpur: The Bihar-Jharkhand unit of the All India Sikh Students’ Federation (AISSF) has served a legal notice to Bollywood actor Kangana Ranaut and sought a public apology to the nation for her “Bheekh Mein Mili Azadi” comment.
The AISSF served the notice to Ranaut through its counsel Diwakar Upadhyay. The president of the unit, Satnam Singh Gambhir, said, “Either Kangana tenders an unconditional apology to the country within 15 days or we would file a complaint in the Jharkhand high court, seeking penal action against her.”
Notably, the Padma Shri award-winning actor had said that the Freedom gained in 1947 was a “bheekh” while real Independence was attained in 2014. “Her statement is an insult to millions of freedom struggle heroes who made the supreme sacrifice for the liberation of the country from British colonial rule,” Gambhir added.
