SGPC Demands Ban on Kangana Ranaut's Film 'Emergency'

Kangana Ranaut's film Emergency is just a few days away from release. Recently, the trailer of the film was released which is based on the events of the Emergency period. Now Bathinda MP Harsimrat Kaur Badal has demanded a review from the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) before the release of Kangana Ranaut's film "Emergency". Reacting to the trailer of the film, she expressed concern that the Sikh community should not be defamed.

SGPC chief Harjinder Singh Dhami demands FIR against Kangana Ranaut

In fact, on Wednesday, August 21, SGPC chief Harjinder Singh Dhami, while addressing a press conference, demanded an FIR against Ranaut and objected to the film Emergency. He said that there have been many such incidents in the past when the sentiments of Sikhs have been hurt due to the wrong portrayal of the community in films. Demanding a ban on the film, he called the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) 'biased' and urged the inclusion of Sikh members in the censor board.

Kangana used abusive language against Punjabis

At the press conference, SGPC chief Harjinder Singh Dhami said, "I have not seen the film, but if any party fought the biggest battle during the Emergency, it was the Shiromani Akali Dal. Late Parkash Singh Badal was the first to lead the movement and was arrested along with others. The Akali Dal fought the hardest during the Emergency and faced many arrests. If Sikhs have not been portrayed correctly in the film, it could be because Kangana's role does not allow a proper portrayal of Sikhs. History shows that Kangana has used derogatory language against Punjabis, especially during the farmers' protests, which shows her bias."

'Sikh community made huge sacrifices for independence'- Harjinder Singh Dhami

Harjinder Singh Dhami, on the other hand, stressed that the Sikh community has made huge sacrifices for India's independence and their contribution to the country should be respected. He said, "This community stands like a shield on the borders and keeps the enemies away. If there is something in the film that can hurt Sikh sentiments, then it should first be shown to the SGPC and whatever is objectionable should be removed". Along with this, he also raised questions on the constant targeting of Sikhs and said, "If you talk about unity, then why do you always call Sikhs terrorists and why do you put NSA on the youth? This is the same community that sacrifices its life for the country".

Emergency will be released on 6 September 2024

Apart from Kangana, Emergency also stars Anupam Kher, Milind Soman, Mahima Chaudhry and Shreyas Talpade. While Shreyas Talpade will be seen playing the role of Atal Bihari Vajpayee, Anupam Kher will be seen in the role of Jayaprakash Narayan. Late actor Satish Kaushik will also be seen in the role of former Deputy Prime Minister of India Jagjivan Ram. Emergency has been postponed several times and is now scheduled to release in theatres on September 6, 2024.
