Chandigarh: The issue of Khalistanis entering the cinema and protesting during the screening of Kangana Ranaut’s film Emergency in Britain was also raised in the British Parliament. British MP Bob Blackman called it a violation of the rights of the people of Britain and called the Khalistanis hooligans and terrorists.
Not only this, the Deputy Speaker of the House has also expressed concern, calling his issue correct. Actually, last Sunday there was a controversy during the screening of the film Emergency in some cinema halls of Britain.
Khalistanis wearing masks came to the cinema hall and stopped the screening of the film by raising Khalistani slogans. Angered by this incident that took place in many cinema halls, the cinema world of Britain stopped the screening of this film. The controversy of which has now reached the Parliament of Britain.
Know what the British MP said-
British MP Bob Blackman said- On Sunday, I and some of my colleagues spent money and went to watch the film “Emergency” at Harrow View Cinema. About 30-40 minutes after the film started, masked Khalistani terrorists barged in and threatened the audience and security forces to stop the screening of the film. Similar incidents were reported in Wolverhampton, Birmingham, Slough, Steyne and Manchester. As a result, cinemas stopped screening the film.
This is a controversial film, and I will not comment on its quality and content. But I am talking about the rights of the people of my constituency and other individuals to form their own opinions after watching the film. The film is based on the time when Indira Gandhi was the Prime Minister of India. However, it is also being seen as an anti-Sikh film.
Still, I would like to say that the people of my constituency should have the right to watch this film and they should be allowed to decide for themselves. Anyone should not be allowed to intimidate and disrupt the democratic rights of the people.
Until next week, appropriate steps must be taken to ensure the safety of those wishing to see this film. I respect the right to peaceful protest outside cinemas, but barging in and making threats is absolutely wrong.
