:dateline:Taking strong notice of the depiction of Sikhs as rapists in a recently released web series named �Pataal Lok� by Amazon Prime, the Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee has asked Amazon to either withdraw the objectionable part from Episode #3 of this web series or get ready to face legal action.
In a press release, DSGMC president Manjinder Singh Sirsa has said that Sikhs are recognized as saviors of women and the entire world sings song of pro-humanitarian services by Sikhs. �Anushka Sharma, the producer of this web-series, has tried to malign the image of Sikhs by depicting them as rapists,� he added.
He further said that what could be worse than it that one of the baptized Sikh has been shown as a one who is witnessing a rape incident and not reacting to it. �It is well-known history that Sikhs have even saved women belonging to their enemies and have always lauded women as one who gave birth to kings,� he said.
Manjinder Singh Sirsa has also requested Union Information and Broadcasting Minister Prakash Javadekar to ban this web series and impose hefty fines for their repetitive attempt to disturb religious harmony.
�We cannot allow Amazon Prime to hurt our sentiments and faith again and again. This agenda of hatred and painting our religion wrong must stop,� he maintained.
It is noteworthy here that a Punjabi Sikh man, accompanied by his supporters including an Amritdhari Sikh, has been shown raping a woman in this web series named �Pataal Lok� promoted by Amazon.
