Chandigarh, August 28, 2023: As per media reports, The Shiromani Gurdwara Prabandhak Committee (SGPC) has raised strong objection to a Hindi movie ‘Yaariyan 2’ scene where an actor is seen sporting a kirpan in an “objectionable manner”.
The scene is from the movie “Yaariyan 2”, whose first song “Saure Ghar” was officially shared by the makers on YouTube on Sunday. Some scenes from the song have not gone down well with the Sikh organisation.
Taking to X (formerly called Twitter), SGPC slammed the makers of Yaariyan 2 for these visuals. The Sikh body shared screenshots of several scenes in which they claimed that the Sikh Kakaar (symbol of Sikh faith) Kirpan is worn by the actor in an “objectionable manner”.
The post read, “We raise our strong objection to these visuals filmed, published in ‘Saure Ghar’ song of ‘Yaariyan 2’ film directed by Radhika Rao & Vinay Sapru @SapruAndRao, as actor is seen wearing Sikh Kakaar (symbol of Sikh faith) Kirpan in a highly objectionable manner which cannot be accepted.
This has seriously hurt the religious sentiments of Sikh community across the globe. Only an initiated Sikh has the right to wear Kirpan as per Sikh Code of Conduct of Akal Takht Sahib.”
