The news of Kangana Ranaut's film ‘Emergency' getting postponed came out yesterday, and it looks like this news didn't sit well with the actress, who has now criticised another show. Kangana Ranaut, while reacting to a tweet by politician Amit Malviya, stated that censorship is only for those "who don't want tukde of this nation."

Which show is Kangana Ranaut talking about?

BJP politician Amit Malviya called out Anubhav Sinha's new show "IC 814: The Kandahar Hijack" in his tweet and stated that "Filmmaker Anubhav Sinha legitimized their criminal intent by furthering their non-Muslim names." While reacting to his tweet, Kangana stated in her long tweet that censorship is only for those "who don't want tukde of this nation."

Kangana Ranaut's tweet against "IC 814"

Kangana Ranaut, while responding to Amit Malviya's tweet regarding Anubhav Sinha's show, shared: "The law of the land is that one can show an unimaginable amount of violence and nudity on OTT platforms without any consequence or censorship. One can even distort real-life events to suit their politically motivated sinister motives. There is all the freedom for communists or leftists across the world for such anti-national expressions, but as a nationalist, no OTT platform allows us to make films that revolve around the integrity and unity of Bharat. It seems censorship is only for some of us who don't want tukde of this nation and make films on historic facts. It's hugely demotivating and unjust."
