Complete harassment of art and the artist: Kangana after SGPC calls for ban on 'Emergency'

New Delhi, Bollywood star Kangana Ranaut on Friday said the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee’s demand for a ban on "Emergency" and the film’s restricted screenings in parts of Punjab is a complete harassment of “art and the artist”. On Thursday, SGPC chief Harjinder Singh Dhami wrote to Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann demanding a ban on the movie, which released across the country on Friday.

Many cinemas in Ludhiana, Amritsar, Patiala and Bathinda did not screen "Emergency" after members of the SGPC protested against the movie. Police force was deployed outside the malls and cinemas in the state.
