Police complaint filed against Kangana Ranaut for insulting Sikh community

The Delhi Sikh Gurudwara Management Committee (DSGMC) on Saturday filed a police complaint against actress Kangana Ranaut for allegedly using derogatory language against the Sikh community on Instagram, a statement said. The complaint was filed with the cyber cell of the Mandir Marg Police Station. The committee said that Ranaut had “intentionally” and “deliberately” portrayed the farmers’ protest as “Khalistani movement”. “ …(she) further dubbed the Sikh community as Khalistani Terrorists, and the massacre and genocide [that] happened during 1984 and earlier, as planned and calculated move on part of (late former prime minister) Indira Gandhi,” the statement alleged.

It further said the actress used “derogatory and insulting” language against the Sikh community. “...request your office to look into the matter on priority basis and strict legal action may be taken after registering an FIR,” the statement added.Meanwhile, Manjinder Singh Sirsa, the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) leader and Delhi Sikh Gurudwara Management Committee president lashed out against the actress and said that she should be either put in jail or a mental hospital."Kangana's statement highlights a very cheap mentality. Saying that the three farm laws were repealed because of the Khalistani terrorists is a disrespect to the farmers. She is a factory of hate," he said in a statement. Sirsa posted the complaint to Delhi police on Twitter and alleged that it had been filed "for her disrespectful, contemptuous and insulting post on Instagram".
