After 'Udta Punjab', here's another film 'Dishoom' starring John Abraham, Varun Dhawan and Jacqueline Fernandez getting into controversy because of a song sequence.

Clad in a short dress with a dagger (kripan) tied to her waist with a belt, Jacqueline is seen dancing in this peppy number which is set to come out soon.
The presence of 'Kirpan' in this track from Rohit Dhawan directed movie, got Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee general secretary Manjinder Singh Sirsa furious on and he wrote a letter to the CBFC and makers of the movie, threatening to initiate criminal proceddings if the song was not removed from from the film.

In a letter to CBFC Chairman Pahlaj Nihalani, Sirsa said that “the song depicts a semi-clad actress (Ms. Jacquelin Fernandes) dancing with a Kirpan with other co-stars actor Varun Dhawan & John Abraham, one of the five compulsory Kakaars worn by a practising Sikh; dangling in front of her legs and supported by a cloth belt worn around the waist by the actress.”

He also wrote on Twitter, "We have strongly objected to dishoom's song with Kirpan refernce.We will not bear any Beadbi of symbols of our faithhttp://tinyurl.com/ho5rewc"
However, this tweet sent fans in a frenzy. While few get offended and urged their fav stars to come out with explanation soon, the other got down to research and found that the dagger present in the song is actually an Arabic Dagger which looks far diffetent from the 'Kirpan'.

Sirsa noted that song video was “highly offensive, mala fide and deliberate insult to the well-established Sikh tenets and customs.”
Sirsa, who was recently appointed advisor to Punjab deputy chief minister Sukhbir Badal and was subsequently given the minister of state rank in Punjab, when contacted, said he watched the objectionable content on YouTube.
