NEW DELHI: The ministry of external affairs (MEA) expressed concern over violent disruptions targeting screenings of the movie ‘Emergency’ in the United Kingdom, reiterating that it expects the government to ensure accountability for those disrupting lawful activities.
MEA Spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said, “We have also seen several reports on how the film, Emergency, which was being screened in several halls, was being obstructed. We consistently raise concerns with the UK Government regarding incidents of violent protest and intimidation by anti-India elements. Freedom of speech and expression cannot be applied selectively, and those obstructing it must be held accountable.”
