‘Emergency’ row: Kangana Ranaut upset with Indian politicians’ “silence” over disruption of UK screening

The Hindu  

After Bob Blackman, the Opposition Conservative Party Member of Parliament urged the U.K. Home Secretary to intervene after his constituents in north-west London were threatened by “masked Khalistani terrorists” who burst into a screening of Kangana Ranaut’s film Emergency, the actor-director has responded to the ongoing row. Sharing the video of Blackman talking about the issue, Kangana wrote on X, “British MP raises his voice for my fundamental right of speech meanwhile there is pin drop silence from Indian politicians and feminists.” Bob Blackman told the House of Commons that similar disruption of the screenings of the “very controversial” film took place in Wolverhampton, Birmingham, Slough, Staines and Manchester. It has resulted in the Vue and Cineworld cinema chains deciding to pull the film from many theatres in the U.K. British MP raises his voice for my fundamental right of free speech meanwhile pin drop silence from Indian politicians and feminists #Emergencyhttps://t.co/rlYbUckJm0 — Kangana Ranaut January 24, 2025 However, on the contrary to Kangana’s claims of India’s politicians not talking about the situation, India’s External Affairs Ministry spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said that those obstructing freedom of speech and expression must be held accountable. “We consistently raise concerns with the U.K. government regarding incidents of violent protest and intimidation by anti-India elements,” he said.
