    Gurbachan Singh said despite repeated warnings film-maker Harinder Singh Sikka was adament to release the movie that has caused widespread outrage. So it was decided to boycott Sikka socially from all spheres.
     
     
    The jathedar added that the members of SGPC's earlier sub-commmittee which had endorsed the film in 2016, too, would be summoned at the Akal Takht.
