Kirpan around Jacqy`s waist irks Sikhs

Rohit Dhawan`s `Dishoom` starring Varun Dhawan, John Abraham and Jacqueline Fernandes has been generating a lot of buzz ever since its release.  The makers recently launched the teaser of the first song `Sau Tarah Ke` in which Jacqueline is seen sporting a mini dress and has a Kirpan around her waist. This has not gone down well with members of the Sikh community who feel that the Kirpan, one of the five compulsory Kakaars worn by a practising Sikh, dangles inappropriately around her waist, thus making a mockery of the sacredness of the religious symbols of the Kirpan. Manjinder Singh Sirsa, The Gurdwara Management Committee`s general secretary has written a letter to Pahlaj Nihalani, chairperson of Central Board of Film Certification,  asking  him to remove the song `Ishq Ka Marz` from the movie. In addition, they have also demanded an apology from the cast and the director of the film.Objecting strongly to the `Beadbi` of Kirpan, a pious symbol of Sikhism  they have asked Sh. Pehlaj Nihlani, the chairperson of Central Board of Film Certification, to instruct the removal of the video of a song titled "ishq ka marz" from the upcoming movie "Dishoom".
