A public interest litigation (PIL) was filed before the Punjab and Haryana High Court seeking the cancellation or revocation of the certification granted to the film ‘Emergency’ starring Kangana Ranaut. Among other things, it was claimed that the movie targeted the Sikh community by projecting ‘false and erroneous facts’.

Gurinder Singh and another petitioner claimed that the film made attempts to “destroy the social fabric of Punjab” and promoted hatred between religious groups. The PIL sought directions to the Union of India and the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) to delete the objectionable scenes from the film, which is scheduled for release on September 6.

The petitioners also requested the formation of a special panel, including members of the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee and other eminent Sikh personalities, to review the film before permitting its exhibition and circulation. The matter is yet to come up for hearing.
