Sardar Ji 3, starring Diljit Dosanjh in lead role, has found itself at the centre of controversy. BJP Chitrapat Kamgar Aghaadi has asked for a ban on the release of the upcoming movie. He has claimed that the movie allegedly includes Pakistani artistes in the cast. If the reports are to be believed, apart from Dosanjh, Hania Aamir, Nasir Chinyoti, Daniel Khawar and Saleem Albela star in Sardar Ji 3.
The organisation has asked the CBFC to ban its theatrical release across India. "We strongly oppose any Pakistani artiste being associated with Indian cinema. It is the demand of the BJP Chitrapat Kamgar Union that Sardar Ji 3 should not be allowed to receive a censor certificate. This is not just a political issue—it is about national sentiment and the dignity of our country," read the statement.
The statement further read, "Pakistan has openly declared India its enemy, and yet we continue to open doors for their artistes and entertainers. This is unacceptable. As representatives of the Indian film industry’s workers and technicians, we cannot stand by and allow this to happen."
In a horrifying turn of events, 26 tourists were shot dead in Pahalgam, Kashmir, on Tuesday afternoon. The attack took place in Baisaran Valley, also known as ‘mini Switzerland’. As tourists had gathered in the valley- some for their honeymoon, while others for a vacation, a group of terrorists opened fire on them.
In a strict move, India announced to close the border with Pakistan and also limit it to a special visa programme, among other measures. The country also banned Pakistani artists' inclusion in Indian cinema, with banning their social media accounts.
