SGPC Prez calls for ban on her film “Emergency”
Markedly, Kangana Ranaut has been hitting the headlines for all the wrong reasons.
Now, it is learned that the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) president Harjinder Singh Dhami on Wednesday has demanded for a ban for her film “Emergency” in which she portrays the role as Indira Gandhi. He feels that the character of Sikhs is being wrongly portrayed and he was left with no option but to ban the screening of the film.
Acknowledged as the mini-parliament of the Sikhs, SGPC is a representative body of Sikhs living across the world.
He alleged that this film has been made by actress Kangana Ranaut, who remains in controversy due to her anti-Sikh and anti-Punjab expressions with the intention of deliberately character assassinating Sikhs, which the Sikh community cannot tolerate.
He held that how can the community forget the anti-Sikh brutality of June 1984 and Sant Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale has been declared a “community’s martyr’’ by Sri Akal Takht Sahib, while Kangana Ranaut’s film is trying to character assassinate him.
He further held that Kangana has often deliberately made expressions that provoke the sentiments of Sikhs, but instead of taking action against her, the government is protecting her. He demanded that the government should file a case against her for inciting religious sentiments of Sikhs for her act through the film Emergency.
Voicing his strong objection, Dhami alleged that it is clear from the released excerpts of the “Emergency’’ film that it has deliberately misrepresented the character of Sikhs as separatists, which is part of a deep conspiracy.
He also went on to add that there have been many such cases related to films in the past when Sikh sentiments have been hurt due to misrepresentation of Sikh characters and religious concerns of Sikhs and demanded an immediate ban on the “Emergency’’ film from Union Minister of Information and Broadcasting Shri Ashwini Vaishnav.
Adding further that the SGPC has earlier passed resolutions in its general meetings several times and demanded that a representative of Sikhs must be included in the Central Board of Film Certification, but it is sad that the government is not implementing the same.
