Majindar Singh Sirsa, President, Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management committee, also tweeted saying he has registered an FIR against her in Delhi Mandir Marg Police station.

Her entire statement read:
Khalistani terrorists may be arm twisting the government today. But let’s not forget one woman. The only woman prime minister ne inn ko apni jooti ke niche crush kia tha. No matter how much suffering she caused to this nation, she crushed them like mosquitoes at the cost of her own life. Lekin desh ke tukde nahi hone diye. Even after decades of her death, aaj bhi uske naam se kaampte hai yeh inko vaisa he guru chahiye
The Sikh community protested outside Kangana’s Khar bungalow in Mumbai on Monday demanding police action against her for allegedly disrespecting the community.
Ranaut also made another controversial statement where she said India got true Independence after 2014 and that the freedom the country got in 1947 was “bheek”.
The 34-year-old actress was awarded Padma Shree on November 8,2021 by the Indian Government.
