Akali Dal leader says Sacred Games 2 hurts religious sentiments of Sikhs |
The popular web series of the film Saif Ali Khan has come into controversy. Controversy has arisen over the role of Saif Ali Khan in the series. Delhi MLA Manjinder Singh Sirsa has strongly criticized Netflix's series Sacred Games.
Actually, Saif Ali Khan plays a Sardar in this series, named Sartaj. In the series, Saif throws away the Kada, which has created controversy. While sharing a video of this scene, Manjinder Singh Sirsa has targeted its director Anurag Kashyap.
I urge @PrakashJavdekar Ji to take stern action agnst @NetflixIndia & #SacredGames which disrespects not only Sikh Kakaars but Hindu religion symbology also— Manjinder S Sirsa (@mssirsa) August 20, 2019
These people are minting money hurting our religious sentiments which cant be allowed in the name of Freedom of Expression https://t.co/lvjnz1hDmx
On this matter, Akali MLA from Rajouri Garden of Delhi has demanded that this scene should be removed immediately from the series, not only that Sirsa has threatened that if it is not done then he will take the legal path. Sirsa says that in Sikhism, wearing a Kada is a religious tradition, in such a situation, throwing it out is an insult to religion. Remove the scene immediately.
Why was the main character made Sikh if you didn’t do any research on the identity of Sikhs & how 5 kakaars (including Kada) are quintessential for Sikhs @NetflixIndia— Manjinder S Sirsa (@mssirsa) August 19, 2019
I demand removal of this scene asap or we will take legal action against the production team @ANI @ZeeNews https://t.co/lvjnz1hDmx
Sirsa writes a tweet that I wonder why Bollywood is bent on insulting Sikhism. Anurag Kashyap has deliberately kept this scene in Sacred Games 2, in which Saif takes out his Kada and throws it into the sea. It is no ordinary jewel, it is the pride of the Sikhs and the blessings of Guru Sahib. Further, the MLA wrote that if you cannot do research on the Sikh community, then why keep its main character Sikh? I demand that this scene be removed as soon as possible or else we will take legal action against the production team.
We cannot let Bollywood stars play with our religious faiths & sentiments. I warn Anurag Kashyap; he should at least study the scriptures of Sikhs & Hindus before he portrays the characters so negatively in his projects just for entertainment or sensationalisation@ANI @aajtak pic.twitter.com/4h34Ib9tDN— Manjinder S Sirsa (@mssirsa) August 20, 2019
