Punjab Pradesh Congress Committee president Capt Amarinder Singh on Tuesday slammed the Censor Board for its unrealistic ruling that all references to Punjab in the movie Udta Punjab should be removed.
“It is like taking the soul out of the film’s body”, he remarked while pointing out that the whole theme of the movie revolved around Punjab and the devastating drug problem it faced.
The PCC president maintained that instead of trying to suppress the harsh reality of drug scourge in Punjab, the Akali-BJP Government should better spend its energies in solving the problem.
"Running away and shutting your eyes and ears and trying to gag those who are trying to present and portray the truth, is certainly not going to help Punjab and nor will it help you in anyway", he told Akalis.
