										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>On Friday, the Shiv Sena came out in favor of NCP minister Nawab Malik, saying he was not alone. Sanjay Raut, a Shiv Sena MP, also warned the BJP that using central agencies like the ED and CBI beyond 2024 will backfire. Raut also attacked actor Kangana Ranaut for her recent views on India&#8217;s independence, claiming that the Centre should revoke all of her accolades.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Raut said: “Kangana has insulted the country. She has a habit of making such statements. Her statement has hurt the feelings of Indians. So Kangana should apologize to the country. All her national awards should be withdrawn. BJP should also clarify its position on Kanganaben&#8217;s statement.”</p>
