Chandigarh, August 31

A complaint has been filed against actor-cum-MP Kangana Ranaut at the Chandigarh District Court for allegedly maligning the image of Sikhs, hurting religious sentiments and misrepresentation of facts in her movie “Emergency”.

The complaint has been lodged by Ravinder Singh Bassi, president, Lawyers for Humanity. Bassi said in “Emergency”, the actress had tried to malign the image of Sikhs and had falsely mispresented facts related with the Sikh history. By doing so, she had created a division between the communities, he added.

He prayed before the court that Chandigarh SSP may be directed to register an FIR against the actress under Sections 196 (1), 197(1), 302, and 299 of the BNSS. The court has fixed September 17 as the next date of hearing into the matter.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
