Punjabi influencer issues death threat to Kangana Ranaut

 
On August 26, a video of Punjabi influencer Viky Thomas Singh took to his social media account to share that if the film portrays the Sikh community in bad light then there will be dire consequences. In the video he says,  "History cannot be changed. If they portray Sikhs as terrorists in the film, fir yaad rakhna jiska movie kar rahi hai uska kya scene hua tha. Remember who Satwant Singh and Beant Singh were. Jo hume ungli karte hai, vo ungli hi chatka dete hai hum... Agar hum sar katwa sakte hai toh sar kaat bhi sakte hai."

Former Bigg Boss contestant Ajaz Khan also featured in the video, though he did not say anything. Another man says in the video that the actress-turned-politician has already been slapped once and the Sikh community will beat her with slippers if the movie is released. He said, "Aap ye picture release karte ho toh sardaaron ne aapko chappal maarni hai. Laafa toh aapne kha liya. I'm a very proud Indian. If I spot you anywhere in my country and in my Maharashtra, I'm saying this, not just as a Sikh and a proud Marathi, but all my Hindu, Christian and Muslim brothers will also welcome you with chappals."

Kangana Ranaut seeks police action in the matter

The video has been circulating on social media with netizens questioning how the influencer can openly issue threats to the actress. A fan of Kangana shared the video with the caption, "What is happening in our nation? People are openly threatening the life of BJP MP and Bollywood actress 𝗞𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗮𝗻𝗮 𝗥𝗮𝗻𝗮𝘂𝘁 simply for portraying India's history. Is it wrong to tell the story of the Iron Lady of India, who is celebrated as one of the country's strongest Prime Ministers? Please, increase your security. We're genuinely concerned for your safety."

The actress reshared this post on her X (formerly Twitter) account and simply wrote, “Please look in to this @DGPMaharashtra @himachalpolice @PunjabPoliceInd.” Previosuly on August 2, the Akhal Takht, the highest temporal seat of the Sikhs, and the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) demanded an immediate ban on the film Emergency, claiming it tries to “character assassinate” Sikhs. SGPC chief Harjinder Singh Dhami, addressing a press conference, also sought the registration of an FIR against the Kangana Ranaut, the film’s writer, director, producer and lead actor.
