A shocking video has gone viral on social media in which a man looks like singer is dancing and singing holding Sri Sahib. Few days back bollywood film Dishoom did same.
In a press conference organised here, general secretary of Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee and minister of state in Punjab, Sh. Manjinder Singh Sirsa informed the media personnel that he has got issued a legal notice through his advocate Sh. S.S. Ahluwalia to the Sh. Rohit Dhawan, director of an upcoming movie namely Dishoom as well as to its heroine Ms. Jacqueline Fernandez; for initiating criminal legal proceedings against both the accused. Issuing a copy of the notice to the media, Mr. Sirsa claimed that in the movie, Ms. Jacqueline Fernandez has been shown dancing to tunes of a particular song, with a Kirpaan tied to a belt and dangling between her legs. He said that Kirpaan is one of the essential Kakaar born by a practising Sikh (only Amritdhari Sikh can wear Kirpaan). The song in question has intentionally insulted the sacredness and respect of Kirpaan and the movie’s director as well as heroine both are responsible.
Sh. Sirsa said that the sacredness and respect of Kirpan has been admitted and appreciated not only by various high courts and supreme court of India but also courts worldwide. The constitution of India also confers the right to bear Kirpan by persons professing Sikh faith, which itself reflects the importance and sacredness of Kirpaan in Sikhism. Therefore, the film director or cast must not be allowed to disrespect this religious symbol of the Sikh community in the guise of right to freedom of expression, which cannot be exercised while hurting the religious sentiments of people.
