He said that the song video in question has intentionally violated the sacredness and respect of Kirpan and the movie’s director as well as actress both are responsible.
The statement read that through the legal notice, Manjinder Sirsa asked director Rohit Dhawan to immediately remove all the trailers/videos of the aforesaid song uploaded at youtube.com or other websites; either delete the song from the movie or re-shoot its video without the Kirpan worn by the actress and to make public apology along with Jacqueline Fernandez to the Sikh community for the deliberate insult done to a respectable Sikh religious symbol.
He warned that if the these remedial steps are not taken, DSGMC would initiate criminal proceedings against the accused persons u/s 295A & 120B for hurting the religious sentiments of the Sikh community and will also file a petition in the court for banning the release of the movie.
