Earlier, the Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi actress called Shabana Azmi 'anti-national' after the latter turned down an event on poet Kaifi Azmi in Pakistan. Kangana told an entertainment portal, "People like Shabana Azmi calling for a halt on cultural exchange, they are the ones who promote Bharat Tere Tukade Honge gangs. Why did they organize an event in Karachi in the first place when Pakistani artists have been banned after Uri attacks and now they are trying to save face. Film industry is full of such anti-nationals who boost enemies morals in many ways but right now is the time to focus on decisive actions. Pakistan ban is not the focus, Pakistan destruction is."
However, Shabana Azmi has finally reacted to the statements made by Kangana against her. She told in.com, "You really think at a time like this a personal attack on me can be of any significance when the entire country stands as one in our grief and in condemning this dastardly Pulwama attack? May God bless her. Shabana Azmi." Navjot Singh Sidhu To Be Fired From The Kapil Sharma Show Over His Pulwama Attack Statements! #BoycottSidhu Becomes The Top Trend On Twitter!.
