The SGPC alleged that the movie misrepresents Sikh history and hurts the community’s sentiments. Demonstrations were reported in Amritsar, Mohali, and other parts of the state. SGPC President Harjinder Singh Dhami has written to the Chief Minister, urging a ban on the release of Emergency. The committee raised concerns that the film could offend Sikh community sentiments.
