“We hope that the UK side will take appropriate action against those responsible. Our High Commission in London remains in touch, in regular communication with our community members for the safety and benefits,” the spokesperson further said.The film Emergency explores the period of emergency declared by then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi from 1975 to 1977 and its aftermath. Kangana Ranaut stars in the lead role, with Anupam Kher and Shreyas Talpade also playing prominent roles.British Sikh groups staged protests against Kangana Ranaut’s film Emergency, disrupting screenings at multiple cinemas across the UK. The Sikh Press Association (PA) claimed on social media that the film is viewed as “anti-Sikh,” with the protests leading to cancelled screenings in Birmingham and Wolverhampton, located in the West Midlands region of England. Earlier, an Opposition Conservative Party Member of Parliament urged the UK Home Secretary to intervene after his constituents in north-west London were threatened by “masked Khalistani extremists” who burst into a screening of ‘Emergency.’
