Kangana Ranaut’s Film Emergency Already In Trouble Before Its Release? Gurdwara Committee Seeks Ban For This Reason

Kangana Ranaut’s film Emergency seems to have landed in significant trouble before its release. The movie has her playing former Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi and will revolve around the emergency during her reign. However, now the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee has sought a ban on the movie, alleging that it hurts the sentiments of the Sikh community. The committee has further accused the controversial actress of having made some not-so-pleasant comments about the community in the past.

The committee president, Harjinder Singh Dhami, took to his X handle to state how Kangana Ranaut has made some controversial statements about the Sikh community in the past. The committee also called for including a Sikh member in the Central Board Of Film Certification. Furthermore, it accused the movie Emergency of misrepresenting and allegedly character-assassinating Sikhs.

Harjinder Singh Dhami’s post read, “It is very important to include a Sikh member in the Central Film Censor Board, as unilateral decisions are being taken only because of the absence of a Sikh member. The Shiromani Committee has passed resolutions several times in its general meeting demanding that a representative of Sikhs must be included in the Central Film Censor Board, but it is a pity that the government is not implementing it. It is very important to ban this film because it is natural that the release of this film will create a lot of anger and resentment in the Sikh community (sic).”
