Actress and BJP MP Kangana Ranaut's Emergency has hit the big screens today after several months of delay due to censorship issues. Despite getting a green signal from the censor board, the film is facing protests in Punjab. The actress in response called the ongoing protest against the release of her film 'Emergency' a "complete harassment of art and the artist."

The protest is spearheaded by the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC), an apex governing body which manages historic gurudwaras in Punjab, Haryana, Himachal Pradesh and Chandigarh. Kangana who is also serving as a Member of Parliament from Mandi, Himachal Pradesh labelled the ongoing protest in Punjab as propaganda to tarnish her image and harm her film 'Emergency.'
