India's first woman Prime Minister - Indira Gandhi. Born in Allahabad on November 19, 1917, Indira ruled India for about 16 years. Gandhi, who assumed office on January 24, 1966, became the Prime Minister of India continuously until 1977. Indira became the prime minister again on January 14, 1980 and remained in office until her assassination on October 31, 1984.

After India became independent in 1947, Indira's father Jawaharlal Nehru became the Prime Minister. Indira was a personal aide during her father's reign until 1964. Elected as a member of the Central Working Committee of the Indian National Congress in 1955, she became the party president for one year from 1959. Indira became the party president again in 1978 .

After Nehru, Lal Bahadur Shastri became the Prime Minister of India for two years . During Shastri's prime ministership from 1964 to 1966, she became the Information and Broadcasting Minister. After Shastri's sudden death on January 11, 1966 in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, the way was opened for Indira to become the Prime Minister.

After nationwide protests in 1975, his position as Prime Minister was in jeopardy. After that she declared emergency on June 25, 1975. The emergency period imposed on the claims of internal and external threats to India continued till March 21, 1977.

Indira, who made India a nation with nuclear power, separated Bangladesh from Pakistan and nationalized the banks and humiliated Indians for political interests, also became infamous by imposing a 21-month crisis period on the world's largest democracy. She was also forced to resign with the end of crisis in 1977.

The Bollywood film made with the same 21-month-long crisis as the main issue is also very popular recently. The name is, 'Emergency' . Kangana Ranaut is the director and producer of the film. The story of the film based on Gandhi's biography also Kangana Wrote . On top of that, she herself has played the role of former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi. Anupam Kher, Shreyas Talpade, Milind Soman, Mahina Chaudhary and others have acted in the film.

Recently, Kangana has been more active in the political world than in the film industry. Kangana, who won the election from Himachal Pradesh last June, is currently a Lok Sabha MP. She won the election from Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). But soon after entering active politics Kangana is stressed by the 'politics of the film world'. The reason for this is the tension caused by the film before its release. After the trailer was released on August 14, controversy started about the film. The opposition to the

film is especially from the Sikh community. Various Sikh communities in Punjab, Telangana, New Delhi, Uttar Pradesh and other states have demanded to stop the screening of the film.

Shiromani Akali Dal's Delhi unit has been holding protests against the film. The party has already sent a notice to the Censor Board (Central Board of Film Certification-CBFC) and Kangana's production house. Similarly, the Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee (DSGMC) has also sent a letter to the board demanding that the screening of the film be stopped.

The Shiromani Gurdwara Management Committee (SGPC) has issued a notice to Kangana and the filmmakers to remove the film's trailer, publicly apologize and stop screening the film.

A few days ago, Kangana shared a video on social media and complained that the film was not given a censor certificate. "There is a rumor that our film has got a certificate from the Censor Board, this is not true," she said, "Our film was passed by the Censor Board but its certificate has been stopped." Kangana's argument is that since she has produced a film based on a real incident, it should be passed by the Censor Board.

Kangana has claimed that she, the film production team and the censor board have also received death threats from many places. We have been pressured to remove Indira Gandhi's assassination, Bhindranwale and Punjab riots. This is incredible for me. I express my regret for this state of the country," she said. After not getting the censor certificate, the performance date set for September 6 has been moved, according to the production side. The

film has come into controversy especially over the character of Khalistani separatist Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale. There is a dialogue in the trailer of the film, 'Your party needs votes . Khalistan to us.' But Bhindranwale never said that and radical Sikh groups were outraged.

In 1984, Khalistani leader Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale and other Sikh separatists encroached on the Golden Temple in Amritsar, India. The Indian Army launched a military operation to drive out a group of separatists who had taken over the holy shrine of the Sikh community from the Golden Temple complex. The then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi ordered the army for the operation named 'Operation Bluestar'.

Soon after that, the Indian Army launched 'Operation Bluestar' from 1st to 8th June 1984 . During the military operation, many pilgrims were killed and the Akal Takht (one of the five Sikh thrones) and the Sikh reference library were destroyed.

Indira was later assassinated in protest against that attack. Anti-Sikh riots started in 1984 after the assassination of Gandhi. According to the government data, at least 3,500 Sikhs were killed across India. 2,800 Sikhs were killed in the capital New Delhi alone.

Indira Gandhi was assassinated on October 31, 1984 at 9:30 am. She was killed in her residence at Safdarjung Road in New Delhi. After the assassination of Indira, her son Rajiv Gandhi became the Prime Minister of India. Rajiv was also assassinated on May 21, 1991 while addressing an election meeting.

The elected Lok Sabha MP from Faridkot in Punjab Sarabjit Singh Khalsa has said that the Sikh community has been portrayed wrongly in the film. They have demanded to stop the release of the film. They have warned that if the film is released, the law and order will be disrupted .

Sarabjit is the son of Bayant Singh, the bodyguard who shot Indira Gandhi . Bayant and another bodyguard Satwant Singh killed Indira . Independent candidate Sarabjit defeated Aam Aadmi Party's Karamjit Singh Anmol by more than 70 thousand votes in the last election. Before that he was in Siroman Akali Dal-Amritsar and Bahujan Samaj Party.

After the Sikh community, the Indian opposition party Congress supporters are more angry with him . He says that Congress supporters are threatening and pressuring him not to release the film. He says that the Congress supporters have constantly pressured them not to show the scene of Indira Gandhi's murder. If we don't show Bhindranwale and Punjab riots, what else will we show? This threat is very sad for us, she said.

Kangana also knocked on the door of the court after nothing was done. But she has not been able to make the decision of the court in her favor. The Mumbai High Court on Wednesday refused to grant an immediate censor certificate to the film. But a bench of Justices BP Kolabawala and Firdos Poniwala ordered the Censor Board to resolve the censor issue by September 18 to consider the controversy surrounding the film.
