SAD Delhi unit urges CBFC to stop release of Kangana -starrer 'Emergency'

The Shiromani Akali Dal's Delhi unit has urged the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) to stop the release of Kangana Ranaut-starrer 'Emergency', saying the film has the potential to incite communal tension and spread misinformation. Ranaut, a BJP MP, stars in the role of former prime minister Indira Gandhi in the film that will hit the screens September 6. In his letter to the board on Wednesday, the party's Delhi president Paramjit Singh Sarna said the trailer of the film, which was released recently, "depicts erroneous historical facts that not only misrepresent the Sikh community but also promotes hatred and social discord". Such depictions are not only misleading but also deeply offensive and damaging to the social fabric of Punjab and the entire nation, he said. The Emergency, imposed on June 25, 1975, by the then Gandhi-led Congress government, saw a suspension of civil rights for nearly two years. Sarna said, "Given the potential of this film to incite communal tens

Script by BJP: Akhilesh slams Kangana on remarks over farmers' protests

Slamming BJP MP Kangana Ranaut over her remarks on farmers' protests, Samajwadi Party (SP) chief Akhilesh Yadav on Tuesday said the words were "deliberate" and will be used as a "shield" so that the top leadership of the saffron party is not blamed for its imminent defeat in the Haryana Assembly polls. "This is the BJP's script, which is being read out by an actress as dialogue on the instructions of a top director. When an ordinary politician understands that using abusive language about the farmers' movement in a farmers' state will harm their prospects, the BJP's Chanakya does not understand this?" Yadav said in a post in Hindi on X. "The real truth of this episode is that such a thing must have been said deliberately so that the statement of the actress can be cited as the reason for the defeat that has already been decided in Haryana and the top leadership is not blamed for it. This is not a statement but a 'word-shield' to protect someone," he added. Ranaut, the member of ...
