Kangana lashes out at peaceniks

In an interview with an entertainment website, Kangana Ranaut lashed out at peaceniks. She said, "Pakistan has not only violated our nation’s security, they have also attacked our dignity by openly threatening and humiliating us. We need to take decisive actions, or else our silence will be misunderstood for cowardice... Bharat is bleeding today, the killing of our sons is like a dagger in our gut; anyone who lectures about non-violence and peace at this time should be painted black, put on a donkey and slapped by everyone on the streets."

She even had a dig at Shabana Azmi and Javed Akhtar’s decision to opt out of a Karachi event and said, "People like Shabana calling for a halt to cultural exchange -- they are the ones who promote Bharat Tere Tukde Honge gangs... why did they organise an event in Karachi in the first place when Pakistani artistes have been banned after the Uri attacks? And now they are trying to save face? The film industry is full of such anti-nationals who boost enemies' morals in many ways, but now is the time to focus on decisive actions... A Pakistan ban is not the focus, Pakistan’s destruction is."

Shabana had unequivocally expressed grief over the Pulwama attack. ‘‘I am filled with pain and grief and all else...For the 1st time in all these years I feel weakened in my belief that people to people contact can force the Establishment to do the right thing. We will need to call a halt to cultural exchange," she wrote.

Navjot foot in mouth, again

Meanwhile, Navjot Singh Sidhu's comment --Terrorism has no religion, no nation--has led to an outrage on social media. He is not only getting brickbats from his opponents, but also from Twitterati who are asking fans to boycott The Kapil Sharma Show. "For a handful of people, can you blame the entire nation and can you blame an individual? It (the attack) is
