'Goes Against India's Sovereignty': Government Panel Backs Ban On 'Satluj'

A government panel has recommended a ban on the film 'Satluj' directed by Honey Trehan, citing it as a threat to India's sovereignty. The movie tells the story of human rights activist Jaswant Singh Khalra, who probed into the mysterious cremation of thousands of unidentified bodies in Punjab from 1984 to 1994. This move highlights the government's stance on protecting national interests amid growing concerns over portrayals of sensitive historical events. The decision could have broader implications for the freedom of expression in the film industry, raising questions about the balance between national security and artistic freedom.
