Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) chief Sukhbir Singh Badal has voiced strong opposition against the removal of the film 'Satluj' from a leading digital streaming platform. Badal described the decision as an attempt to suppress a narrative that bravely confronts the historical pain and sacrifices associated with the state of Punjab.
Addressing the controversy, Badal emphasized that the production pays tribute to the supreme sacrifice of Sardar Jaswant Singh Khalra. He maintained that films documenting significant human rights efforts and regional history should not be silenced through digital censorship or platform restrictions.
The Akali Dal leader further asserted that such actions represent an assault on the collective memory of the Punjabi people. He called for the protection of artistic works that address historical truths, even when they deal with sensitive or painful subject matter.
