Manoj Muntashir Reacts to Kangana Ranaut's 'Emergency' Controversy

Kangana Ranaut is often in the headlines for her statements. But these days she is in the headlines for her film 'Emergency'. The release date of 'Emergency' was earlier said to be 6 September. But the film did not get the censor certificate due to which it has been postponed. Meanwhile, Kangana Ranaut has shared a video of lyricist Manoj Muntashir, in which he has expressed his displeasure over Emergency.

Manoj Muntashir spoke on the ongoing controversy over emergency 

Let us tell you that Kangana Ranaut shared a video on Instagram in which Manoj Muntashir is seen addressing the ongoing controversy. In the video, Manoj Muntashir has talked about the film Emergency not getting a censor certificate. He said, "Why is this certificate game being played half-heartedly? It should be played wholeheartedly. Another certificate should be taken away from us because we respect freedom of expression. Leave this pretense of greatness, we cannot tolerate even a single film. Let's talk about freedom of expression. What is the problem with Emergency... The problem is that the brutal murder of Indira Gandhi has been shown. So did Indira Ji die in a road accident, was she not murdered? The problem is that Indira Gandhi's killers have been shown as Sikhs. So were Satwant Singh and Beant Singh, not Sikhs? The problem is that Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale has been shown as a terrorist. So was that beast who killed thousands of innocent people, not a terrorist?"

Manoj Muntashir shared his thoughts in the video

Along with this, Manoj Muntashir said that 'The Sikh community has objections to these parts of the film. I am not ready to believe that Sikhs who fearlessly stand for truth by chanting Ek Omkar Satnam got scared of the truth shown in a film. Sikhs are a golden page in the history of India. When they come out wearing a saffron turban on their head, the whole country looks at them with respect. Because every fold of that turban shows the bravery of our great Gurus. Will Sikhs be identified with Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale?' Manoj said that the Sikh community has never played the victim card. It is not possible for such a community get scared just because of a film.

Kangana is upset over the postponement of the film

Meanwhile, Kangana reacted to the delay in the film and said, "An emergency has been imposed on my film. This is a very disappointing situation. I am very disappointed with my country and the situation. Emergency has been imposed on my film as well, this is a sad situation. I am very disappointed with my country and the situation."

Because of this, there is a demand to ban the film

For your information, let us tell you that the controversy over the film Emergency started a few weeks ago when a 2.43-minute trailer was released on August 14. The trailer portrays Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale, the leader of the separatist Khalistan movement, as a sly man who promised to bring voters to the Congress in exchange for a separate Sikh state. In response, the Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee (DSGMC) sent a letter to the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) and the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, urging a ban on the screening of the film. The organization alleges that the trailer "misrepresents the Sikh community" and fears that the film "may incite hatred".
