Actor and BJP MP Kangana Ranaut landed in more trouble after a complaint was filed against her by the farmers agitating against the now-scrapped agri laws in Delhi for making objectionable remarks against Mahatma Gandhi and the farmers. An MP-MLA court on Tuesday issued a notice to Kangana in the same matter.

Rama Shankar Sharma, an advocate, said the court has sought a response from Ranaut on his complaint and has fixed November 28 as the next date of hearing.

"I had filed a case in Agra MP MLA Court on September 11, 2024, against actress and MP from Mandi Kangana Ranaut. She had insulted crores of farmers of the country and also insulted father of the nation, Mahatma Gandhi with her remarks," he said while quoting media reports.

What Is The Case About?

Advocate Ramashankar Sharma had submitted an application before the Special Court, MPMLA on 11 September 2024. It was alleged that on 26 August 2024, Kangana Ranaut had made an indecent statement for the farmers sitting on a dharna at the Delhi border. After this, on 17 November 2021, she made a statement "Begging freedom is not obtained by getting slapped on the cheek", mocking the non-violent principle of the Father of the Nation Mahatma Gandhi.

Meanwhile, on the film front, Kangana is waiting for the release of her film 'Emergency', which delves into the life of Indira Gandhi, who imposed a 21-month emergency period from 1975 to 1977.

'Emergency' has been embroiled in controversies for some time now including facing backlash several Sikh groups.

The movie has been finally passed by the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) in October.

Earlier in September, Kangana Ranaut, in an interview with ANI, had opened up about the repercussions being faced by the makers of the 'Emergency' due to delay in the release of the film.

"I know how I made this film... I did not get any support from the film industry. It's made on a huge budget. I along with Zee and other partners created Emergency, and now with the release delay, everyone is bearing a huge loss. Delay release is a loss for all. I think the Censor Board should take the responsibility to release this film at the earliest," she said.
