Good on the Granthi who opposed the ban, much better than his sellout boses.

Ban on ‘Sadda Haq’ opposed

Sangrur, April 10, 2013

A local sikh organisation on Wednesday organised a peaceful protest outside the office of the deputy commissioner here against the ban on Punjabi film "Sadda Haq".

Demanding that the ban be over, the agitators raised slogans against the Punjab government before submitting a memorandum

to deputy commissioner Kumar Rahul. Harjinder Singh, head priest of Gurdwara Mastuana Sahib, said the state's history of police excesses and exploitation of young people at the hands of politicians could not be denied by banning the release of the film based on the times of militancy in the state.

"The government only shows what suits it and restricts films that project the issues related to Punjab," he said. “It's not the first time that a film based on true incidents has been made.” The state government had banned the movie on the ground that it glorified terrorists and their activities in Punjab.

The movie, which earlier received a green signal from the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC), later was banned the night before its release on April 5

Badal and Makkar proved wrong, no problems occur when the film is shown in India, along with the Congress, PPP/Communists all have been shown instruments to keep Sikhs down. Have all the Sikh religious and political leaders taken up a vow of silence, usually they are calling people Naasticks and Blasphemers etc without hesitation but all is quite.

Two Haryana theatres continued to screen the controversial Punjabi film Sadda Haq for four consecutive days despite state government banning it.

Caught napping, the Haryana government swung into action late Tuesday and stopped the screening of the film at Harsha K3C and Movietime theatres in Karnal.

"On receiving the information, we checked the two cinema halls and found that the movie was being screened in violation of the government orders. They had been screening it since April 6. In fact, orders were sent to every movie theatre owner and manager to not screen the film on the evening of April 5. Though these two cinema halls did not screen the film on Friday, April 5, they started some shows next day onwards," Karnal Superintendent of Police Shashank Anand told The Indian Express.

The film was banned on April 5 in Punjab, Haryana, Chandigarh and Delhi. Anand said the owners and managers of both the cinema halls will be booked for violating government orders. "Instructions have been issued to register criminal cases against the owners and managers. We are also examining if relevant sections pertaining to hurting religious sentiments can be added to the FIRs," he added.

Meanwhile, producer, writer and lead actor of the film, Kuljinder Singh Sidhu, said, "There was no written order of a ban." He said that Karnal cinema halls saw houseful shows and the collections and other data will be revealed by film trade analysts by Thursday.

All India distributor for the film, Jalandhar-based Munish Sahni said the film saw a peaceful screening in Karnal, Hamirpur in Himachal Pradesh, Indore in Madhya Pradesh and in Mumbai. "Audiences are flocking the cinema halls," Sahni said
