Amritsar- Dal Khalsa today termed the stalling of film 'Kaum de heere'
as first onslaught of Modi Sarkar on Sikhs.
Party spokesperson Kanwar Pal Singh
said the decision to bar the film by Home Ministry (HM) is based on flimsy
ground. "The film is based on history and facts. We can't change the
history nor can we run away from the facts". He asked the HM to withdraw
its illegal ban as it has hurt the Sikh sentiments.
Lambasting
the BJP and the
Congressmen for raising hue and cry on the film, Kanwarpal Singh said
they have
no business to interfere in Sikh affairs. 'It's for the Sikhs to decide
who is their community's (quam) hero and Akal Takht articulating the
collective aspirations of the Sikhs have declared the three (Beant
Singh, Satwant Singh and Kehar Singh) as their heroes and martyrs.
Rubbishing all talks and claims by certain quarters that the film would disturb the communal harmony, he said bonds
of Punjabi's are not so weak and fragile that any film could trigger unrest amongst them.
He
urged the Director of the film to wait for few days and in case the government
sticks to its illogical stand, then he should distribute DVD’s of the film within
Sikh circles and that their cadre would screen the film in villages, towns and
cities on their own.
