The SGPC has said that it is not satisfied with the directors’ clarification and that it is initiating legal action in the matter. The Akal Takht Jathedar Giani Raghbir Singh has also directed the SGPC to take strict legal action in the matter.
In a statement, SGPC chief Harjinder Singh Dhami said, “The insult to Sikh ‘Kakaars’ and Sikh principles cannot be tolerated in any film. The producer, directors, and actor of the film did not do it right by presenting ‘Sikh Kakaar Kirpan’ against Sikh principles and ‘maryada’ (conduct), he said.”
The SGPC has also asked the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, Ministry of Information Technology and Electronics, and Central Film Board of Certification to take action against the film.
