Kangana Ranaut’s Emergency has run into difficulty after the Gurdwara Committee and Akalis objected to it. Read to learn about the complete situation.
Kangana Ranaut recently released a trailer for her forthcoming flick, Emergency. The film is only two weeks away from being released. However, it has now sparked criticism. The Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) and the Akhal Takht have asked for an immediate ban on Ranaut’s movie. They allege the film is attempting to “character assassinate” Sikhs and present a negative story about them.
SGPC chief Harjinder Singh Dhami addressed a news conference on Wednesday, during which he requested a FIR against Kangana Ranaut and expressed his opposition to the Indira Gandhi biopic. Harjinder claims that films have previously wounded Sikh sensibilities by depicting them negatively. He believes the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) is biassed and wishes to add Sikh members to the board.
Similarly, Gyani Raghbir Singh, the head (Jathedar) of the Akal Takt, remarked that, despite Kangana Ranaut‘s previous accusations against Sikhs, the government has never taken any action against her. Dhami alleged that Emergency “deliberately misrepresented the character of Sikhs as separatists, which is part of a deep conspiracy.” Singh claims Kangana Ranaut has “disrespected” the Sikh community and is “deliberately character assassinating” them.
Gyani’s statement continues: “The community can never forget the anti-Sikh brutality of June 1984, and Ranaut’s film is trying to characterise and assassinate Jarnail Singh Khalsa Bhindranwale, who has been declared a Qaumi Shaheed (community’s martyr) by Sri Akal Takht Sahib.”
