Chandigarh Court Issues Notice to Kangana Ranaut Over 'Emergency' Film Controversy

The court responded to accusations that the film tarnishes the image of Sikhs and portrays a former Akal Takth Jathedar as a terrorist.

A district court in Chandigarh has issued a notice to actress and BJP MP Kangana Ranaut regarding her film 'Emergency'.
The notice follows a complaint by advocate Ravinder Singh Bassi, alleging the film maligns the Sikh community and falsely portrays a former Akal Takth Jathedar as a terrorist.
The court has directed Ranaut and other respondents to file their replies by December 5.
The petition demands that an FIR be registered against Ranaut under multiple sections related to promoting enmity and inciting religious sentiments.
The Central Board of Film Certification has not yet issued a certificate for the film, and the Madhya Pradesh High Court has instructed the board to consider objections from Sikh groups.
