Amid demands to ban Kangana Ranaut's film 'Emergency', police personnel in heavy numbers have been deployed outside the PVR Suraj Chanda Tara Cinema in Punjab's Amritsar after ShiromGurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) decided to protest against the film being produced by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) MP.
The film is being released today, January 17, which has invited strong opposition from the SGPC, where the committee has demanded that the film be banned in Punjab. Baljinder Singh Aulakh SHO, Amritsar said in a statement to ANI, "Security has been heightened here (at a cinema hall) after the SGPC's urge to stop the screening of film 'Emergency'...We also connected with the manager of the cinema hall, he has said that they have no screening...We are here to maintain the Law and Order..."
