The Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) has sent a legal notice to actor turned politician Kangana Ranaut and the producers of the film 'Emergency', alleging misrepresentation of the history of Sikhs in the film. The film, set to release on September 6, in which Kangana Ranaut portrays the role of former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi, has drawn ire from the Sikh community for its alleged negative portrayal of Sikhs.

Spokesperson SGPC Gurcharan Singh Grewal said, "Kangana Ranaut, who is known for creating new controversies in the midst of controversies, today she arrived in the parliament and the BJP has shrugged off her statements. A notice was sent today to Kangana Ranaut and the people who released that film. The trailer that came, which was seen by the people, should be removed from all platforms and an apology should be sought for this."
