LIVE: Ravneet Singh Bittu Exclusive | Controversy Over Diljit Dosanjh's Satluj Snowballs
Union Minister Ravneet Singh Bittu's repeated interventions in the controversy surrounding Satluj, a film based on the life of human rights activist Jaswant Singh Khalra
Union Minister Ravneet Singh Bittu's repeated interventions in the controversy surrounding Satluj, a film based on the life of human rights activist Jaswant Singh Khalra, have brought forth differing voices within the BJP over one of Punjab's most sensitive and politically charged periods, the militancy era of the 1980s and 1990s. Speaking at a press conference in New Delhi, Bittu said he had no objection to a film being made on Khalra but insisted that historical claims presented in it must be factually accurate.
Referring to the film's mention of 25,000 alleged illegal cremations, he said the figure needed verification and called for the constitution of a commission to establish the actual number of police personnel, civilians, Hindus, Sikhs and militants who lost their lives during the years of insurgency in Punjab.
