Former MLA Parkash Singh Bhatti Rejoins Congress After SAD Stint, Criticizes Kangana Ranaut’s ‘Emergency’ Film

Aug 31: Former MLA Parkash Singh Bhatti has rejoined the Indian National Congress party after a period with the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD). Bhatti’s return to Congress comes with renewed political activity and public statements, including strong criticism of the controversial film “Emergency” directed by Kangana Ranaut.

Bhatti, who had previously been a vocal supporter of SAD, has shifted his allegiance back to Congress and is now focusing on addressing current political issues. One of his notable criticisms is directed at Ranaut’s film “Emergency,” which portrays events from the Indian Emergency period of the 1970s. Bhatti has condemned the film for its portrayal of Sikh figures and historical events, arguing that it distorts historical facts and misrepresents the Sikh community.

The film, which has sparked significant debate and controversy, is criticized by Bhatti for its depiction of characters related to the Sikh movement and the Emergency period. Bhatti’s comments reflect broader concerns within the Sikh community about the film’s portrayal of sensitive historical and political issues. He has called for a reconsideration of the film’s portrayal of Sikh figures and has advocated for respectful and accurate representation of historical events.

Bhatti’s reentry into Congress and his critique of the film highlight his continued engagement with significant political and cultural issues. His statements resonate with ongoing discussions about historical representation and the impact of media portrayals on communal sentiments. As Bhatti resumes his political activities with Congress, his perspectives on these issues are likely to influence public discourse and contribute to the broader conversation surrounding historical narratives and political representation in India.
