Sacred Games 2 has landed in a new controversy, this time Delhi MLA Manjinder Sirsa has alleged that his religious sentiments were hurt due to one particular scene in the web series. Sirsa has written to the filmmakers and Indian government to take the strictest action against Sacred Games 2 team.

In one of the episode, Saif Ali Khan (Sartaj) removes his Kada (iron bracelet) and throws it in the sea. As per Sikh religious, Kada is considered as a religious accessory. According to Sirsa, Kara or Kada represents the pride of Sikhs and blessing of Guru Govind Singh and not an ordinary ornament.

Sirsa accuses the Bollywood and Anurag Kashyap of continuously disrespecting religious symbols.

I wonder why Bollywood continues to disrespect our religious symbols! Anurag Kashyap deliberatly puts this scene in #SacredGamesS2 where Saif Ali Khan throws his Kada in sea! A KADA is not an ordinary ornament. It’s the pride of Sikhs & a blessing of Guru Sahib @NetflixIndia @ANI pic.twitter.com/c2KMbJVrwA

Manjinder Sirsa further accused Anurag Kashyap of spreading hatred among different communities and demanded that the scene should be removed from the web series. He also threatened legal action against all the parties involved in producing Sacred Games 2.

Why was the main character made Sikh if you didn’t do any research on the identity of Sikhs & how 5 kakaars (including Kada) are quintessential for Sikhs @NetflixIndia
I demand removal of this scene asap or we will take legal action against the production team @ANI @ZeeNews https://t.co/lvjnz1hDmx
