Punjab protests against Kangana Ranaut's 'Emergency' over Sikh history allegations

 Punjab protests against Kangana Ranaut's 'Emergency' over Sikh history allegations

Protests broke out across Punjab on Friday against the screening of Kangana Ranaut's film "Emergency," with political leaders claiming the movie undermines national unity. The Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) criticized the film for allegedly misrepresenting the history of Sikhism and the 1984 events.

Punjab Congress chief, Amarinder Singh Raja Warring, expressed concerns over films like "Emergency" that, according to him, twist historical facts for entertainment purposes. He emphasized that such films could harm national brotherhood and suggested that governments and censor boards should monitor them closely.

Protests also took place outside cinemas in Zirakpur, Mohali, led by farmer groups from Sindhupur, who accused Ranaut of using offensive language during the farmers' protest. Additional protests were reported in Ludhiana, Bathinda, and Jalandhar.

"Emergency," directed by Kangana Ranaut, centers on the controversial period of Indira Gandhi's emergency rule, but has sparked widespread controversy for its portrayal of historical events.
