Police have registered a case against the producers, directors and actor of the film Yaariyan 2 for hurting religious sentiments.
It should be noted that the film Yaariyan 2 is currently in the process of release, but due to a song of the film, people associated with it faced problems.
Ashok Kumar, sub-inspector of a police station in Jalandhar district, says that an FIR has been registered on the request of a member of the Sikh Coordination Committee.
He said that provisions of Section 295A of the Indian Penal Code, which deals with intentionally spreading religious hatred and hurting sentiments, have been included in the FIR.
The petition filed by a person named Harpreet Singh said, “In the film’s song, actor Meezan Jafri is allegedly wearing a kirpan which is a symbol of religious faith.
According to the Sikh code of conduct, this kirpan can only be worn by a person who is pure, the petition said.
It should be noted that another Sikh organization had already objected to the actor wearing a kirpan in this song.
On the other hand, the film’s directors claim that the symbolic object worn by the actor is not actually a kirpan but a khakadi (a curved knife).
He also said that he has no intention of hurting anyone’s religious sentiments and disrespecting religion through the film.
On this explanation of the directors, the Sikh organization said that “Sikhs know the design of their kirpan and khakdi as well as the style of wearing it well.
They also said that they are not satisfied with the explanation given by the filmmakers and directors, so we are initiating legal action against the film.
