Shiromani Gurudwara Committee seeks ban on Kangana Ranaut’s Emergency
Actor-MP Kangana Ranaut’s Emergency is still facing heat on the release day. The Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) has urged Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann to impose a ban on its screening in the state. SGPC president Harjinder Singh Dhami has sent a letter to the chief minister, seeking a ban on the release.
The committee has expressed concerns that the movie could potentially offend the sentiments of the Sikh community. Meanwhile, BJP leader Manjinder Singh Sirsa has expressed trust in the state government’s handling of the situation.

A copy of the said letter has been shared on the group’s official X handle. A section of the letter reads, “By hiding facts related to attacks on the holiest shrine of the Sikhs, Sri Harmandar Sahib, the top temporal seat, Akal Takht Sahib, and other gurdwaras and the Sikh genocide (of 1984), this movie works to spread venom under an anti-Sikh agenda. So, we again demand a ban on screening this movie in Punjab. If released, we will be forced to strongly protest it.”
The film, which delves into the chaotic period of the Emergency enforced in India in 1975 by Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, is now at the center of a diplomatic dispute.
