New Delhi: The film ‘Emergency’ directed by Kangana Ranaut has been banned in Bangladesh. Due to the tense relations between India and Bangladesh, the neighboring country took this decision. The film ‘Emergency’ is based on the Emergency imposed in India by the then Prime Minister Indira Gandhi in 1975. IANS quoted a source as saying that the decision to stop the screening of ‘Emergency’ in Bangladesh is related to the current tense relations between India and Bangladesh. This ban is less due to the theme of the film and more due to the ongoing political tension between the two countries.
‘Emergency’ depicts the role of the Indian Army and Indira Gandhi’s government in the 1971 Bangladeshi War of Independence and the support given to Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, known as the ‘Father of Bangladesh’. The film also depicts the assassination of Mujibur Rahman at the hands of Bangladeshi extremists, due to which the film was banned in Bangladesh.
