Kangana Ranaut Cries Foul Over Emergency Certification Delay: 'Lust Over Terrorists, Anti-Nationals'

Kangana Ranaut's Emergency Delay: The actress-turned-politician is facing a roadblock in the release of her film which narrates the story of former Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. The film was scheduled to release on September 6, but the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) has halted the movie's release following calls for a ban. The makers of the movie have been accused of showing the Sikh community in a negative, anti-national light. Following this, the makers moved to the Bombay High Court which refused to go against the CFBC immediately. Kangana has now penned a long note sharing how she feels targeted. 

Kangana Ranaut pens a note on being a victim

On September 4, the makers of Emergency moved to the Bombay High Court seeking a direction from the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) to issue a certificate for the film. However, the court refused to go against the Madras High Court and directed the CBFC to make a decision regarding the release of the film helmed by Kangana Ranaut by September 18, confirming that the movie will not release on September 6, as planned. 

Following the court's order, Kangana Ranaut took to her X (formerly Twitter), to pen a note sharing how she has become a target. Without naming anyone in particular the actress shared her ordeal and linked it with the injustices faced by victims across the country. She wrote in the post, "Today I have become everyone’s favourite target, this is the price you pay for awakening this sleeping nation, they don’t know what I am talking about they have no clue why I am so concerned, because they want peace, they don’t want to take sides. They are cool, you know chilled!!  Ha ha wish that poor soldier on the border had the same privilege of being cool, wish he didn’t have to take sides , and consider Pakistanis/Chinese his enemies. He is protecting you while you can lust over terrorists or anti- nationals."

In the same post, Kangana Ranaut continued, “Wish that young woman whose crime was only that she was alone on the road and was raped to pieces, she was probably a gentle and kind person who loved humanity but was her humanity reciprocated? Wish all the robbers and criminals were also having the same love and affection as this cool and sleeping generation but the truth of life is something else.” 
 

She concluded on the bitter note stating, “Don’t worry they are coming for you if some of us also become cool like you all they will get you and then you will know the importance of uncool people.”
