The Internet is right now obsessed with a raging topic and that is Sacred Games 2. The second season of this Netflix series has successfully managed to hog the limelight with its bold, controversial and grippy content. Now, Akali Dal MLA Manjinder Singh Sirsa has called out the makers of the series for hurting religious sentiments of the Sikh community. In his latest tweet, he has lashed out at Anurag Kashyap for disrespecting the kada (all-iron bracelet), which holds utmost importance amid the Sikh community. Sacred Games 2: From Surveen Chawla’s Jojo to Amey Wagh’s Khushal, 8 Standout Supporting Characters in Saif Ali Khan, Nawazuddin Siddiqui’s Netflix Series (SPOILER ALERT).
He tweeted, "I wonder why Bollywood continues to disrespect our religious symbols! Anurag Kashyap deliberately 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." In the scene, Saif Ali Khan's character (Sartaj Singh) is seen throwing the kada in the sea out of frustration.

Another Tweet by MLA Manjinder Sirsa
It’s impossible to tolerate such gutter content!#SacredGames starts with abusing “Bhagwan”; try replacing Bhagwan with Allah or Jesus...would Media tolerate it then?
Anurag Kashyap chose his script very smartly painting majority of Indians as INTOLERANT@ANI @republic @aajtak pic.twitter.com/hw9oeOjUVI

Manjinder Sirsa Shares a Scene From Sacred Games 2
See this scene where a mother is saying “go kill Muslims”
This is a clever plan to serve anti-India agenda and portray that Muslims are being killed in India by Hindus. Are you trying to serve the narration of ISI and anti-India forces Anurag Kashyap?@ZeeNews @NetflixIndia @ANI https://t.co/cUgUT5a29b pic.twitter.com/077mEzJI3u

Manjinder Sirsa Comments on Bollywood's Way of Executing Religious Content
We cannot let Bollywood stars play with our religious faiths & sentiments. I warn Anurag Kashyap; he should at least study the scriptures of Sikhs & Hindus before he portrays the characters so negatively in his projects just for entertainment or sensationalisation@ANI @aajtak pic.twitter.com/4h34Ib9tDN
