Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee wrote to Punjab CM Bhagwant Mann seeking a ban on Emergency.
SGPC said it “tarnishes” the image of Sikhs and “misrepresents” history and would face protests upon release.
The Delhi unit of Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) sent a legal notice to the CBFC asking to ban the film.
The group cited its concerns over the portrayal of historical Sikh figures and the community.
The film’s release in June 2024 was postponed due to LS elections and then it failed to obtain a censor certificate.
The film was banned citing strained relations between India and Bangladesh.
It also shows the assassination of Rehman at the hands of Bangladeshi extremists, which is a factor in the ban.
Kangana’s remarks suggested a “Bangladesh-like situation” could have erupted during the farmers’ protest.
She alleged that “bodies were hanging and rapes were taking place” during the agitation.
Her comments have played a role in the controversy around her film as she is the lead actor and director.
