A major controversy has arisen in Britain over Kangana Ranaut’s recent release film ‘Emergency’. The violent protests and threats made by pro -Khalistani supporting elements at the screening of the film have not only shaken film lovers, but have also created a new controversy between India and Britain.
Khalistani supporters attacked Kangana Ranaut’s film ‘Emergency’
Kangana’s film ‘Emergency’ was screened in theaters in London and other British cities, but during this performance many theaters created an atmosphere of chaos. According to reports, some pro -Khalistani elements entered theaters and threatened the audience watching the film and tried to stop them from watching the film. These elements not only intimidated the audience, but also stopped the screening of the film in many theaters. The matter also reached the UK Parliament, where opposition MPs expressed strong displeasure over the incident and demanded strict action from the government.
Strict reaction of the Government of India
The Government of India immediately reacted to this serious matter. Expressing concern over these incidents, Foreign Ministry spokesman Randhir Jaiswal said that freedom of expression should not be interrupted under any circumstances. He also said that India has been continuously voicing against such violent protests and threats and cannot be ignored. He hoped that the UK government would take appropriate action in this matter.
Randhir Jaiswal said, “Freedom of expression and freedom of ideas cannot be selectively implemented, and those who are interrupted should be held responsible. We have been regularly putting this issue before the UK government. ”
Khalistani terrorists act in Britain
UK MP Bob Blackman alleged that pro-Khalistani militants in North-West London entered theaters and threatened the audience. Blackman also claimed that similar protests took place in Birmingham, Manchester, Wolverhampton and other cities, which caused the film to stop the screening of the film.
The MP appealed to the UK Home Secretary to intervene in the case and urged to issue a strict statement on it. He said that such violent protests cannot be ignored and action should be taken to stop it immediately.
Kangana Ranaut’s response
Kangana Ranaut expressed her response to this protest through social media. Describing it as “art and artist harassment”, he said that it was a conspiracy to harm the image of the film. Kangana tweeted, “Reports are coming from many cities in Punjab that the film ‘Emergency’ is being tried to prevent performance. This is completely a lie and this propaganda is being done to harm my film. ”
She also said that she respects all religions and has also seen Sikhism closely in her life. Kangana described this protest as a completely baseless and a political conspiracy against her.
Controversy over film in Punjab too
In India too, the controversy over Kangana’s film was deepened, especially in Punjab. Some radical groups in Punjab opposed the screening of the film and called it ‘political intervention’. During the 1975 emergency in the film, Kangana has openly expressed her opinion about Indira Gandhi’s rule, which some people did not like.
Kangana stood against this protest and said that she has full right to express her views and no film, especially if she is based on historical events, cannot be prevented from reaching a viewer class. He called it an attack on the freedom of the artists and said that it is an art and the oppression of the artist.
Increasing tension between UK and India
The opposition to Kangana’s film ‘Emergency’ in Britain has created a new tension between the two countries. The Government of India has repeatedly raised the issue before the UK government, and has expressed expectations that the British government will take concrete steps to prevent this violent protest.
Not only this, the Government of India has also said that this incident is not only limited to film, but it is also an attack on Indian culture and freedom of expression. The Indian High Commission has continued monitoring the issue and has ensured that every possible step is taken to protect Indian citizens.
Protests and threats in Britain over Kangana Ranaut’s film ‘Emergency’ have proved that questions are being raised on the freedom of art and expression worldwide. The Indian government has reacted strongly to this and hoped that the UK government will take action in this matter as soon as possible. This opposition against the film is not only a case of a film, but it is against those who want to express their expression independently.
