The film “Emergency,” produced by Kangana Ranaut, faces controversy as Sikh organizations challenge its release. The Bombay High Court refuses to direct the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) to issue a certificate, making the film’s release uncertain. Concerns about misrepresentation of Sikhs and potential community sentiments arise, prompting legal actions in multiple high courts.
Today, On 3rd September, the Madhya Pradesh High Court declined to halt the release of Kangana Ranaut’s movie “Emergency,” scheduled for this Friday, but directed the CBFC to consider objections before granting a censor certificate. The PIL filed by Sikh groups raised concerns about the movie. The Court dismissed the petition but instructed the CBFC to address the objections.
Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh, leader of Dera Sacha Sauda, has appealed to the Punjab and Haryana High Court for a 21-day furlough. He seeks a review and decision on his application, citing social welfare activities by his sect. Currently serving a 20-year sentence, he has been granted temporary release multiple times, prompting legal challenges.
