Meanwhile, masked Khalistani protestors in London stormed a movie theatre on Sunday night and raised anti-India slogans. The theatre in question -- Harrow Vue Cinema -- was screening the movie Emergency, according to media reports.
The theatre was ¾ full and the spectators were 40 minutes in when the ruckus began and protestors started shouting "Down with India". They went around the theatre and started handing out leaflets about the Sikh genocide to the spectators.
Directed by Kangana Ranaut, the film focuses on the life of former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi and the tumultuous period of the 1975 Emergency.
Besides Ranaut, the movie features Anupam Kher, Shreyas Talpade, Milind Soman, late Satish Kaushik, Mahima Chaudhry, and Vishak Nair in significant roles.
