Akal Takht head Gargajj objects to ZEE5 removal of 'Satluj'
The Akal Takht's top leader, Giani Kuldeep Singh Gargajj, is upset that ZEE5 pulled down the film Satluj just two days after its release.
He says blocking the movie is unfair and wants the government to let people watch it, since it shares important truths uncovered by human rights activist Jaswant Singh Khalra.
'Satluj' portrays Khalra's mass cremations probe
Satluj, directed by Honey Trehan, tells the real story of Khalra's investigation into mass cremations and police abuses against Sikhs in Punjab during the 1984-1994 period.
Gargajj argues that removing this film, when other movies on tough topics are allowed, just isn't right.
He believes showing Satluj matters for justice and accountability: He urged the Central government to allow the film to be screened and said the truth uncovered by Khalra should reach people across the country.
