Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar refused to be drawn into commenting on actor Kangana Ranaut's provocative comments suggesting that the India got Independence India in 2014 and not 1947, adding that such statements are to be made fun of and ignored.
"How can anyone publish this. What does it mean? Should we even notice it. Should we even pay attention to it? Who doesn't know when we got Independence. These statements deserve zero importance. In fact it should be made fun of. They are deliberately made to garner publicity. I do not pay attention to such people. These things don't register with me," said the Chief Minister.
