*Centre Orders Review of OTT's Removal of Film Satluj Following Appeal by BJP Punjab President Kewal Singh Dhillon*
Acting on the appeal of Punjab Bharatiya Janata Party President Sardar Kewal Singh Dhillon, submitted to the Government of India on 6 July, the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology has directed a three-member review committee to examine the circumstances surrounding the removal of the Punjabi film Satluj from the OTT platform.
Welcoming the Centre's decision, Sardar Kewal Singh Dhillon said: "Punjab's cinema and its artists represent the voice, history and cultural identity of our people. When serious concerns were raised by members of the Punjabi film industry and the public over the manner in which Satluj was removed from OTT, I felt it was my responsibility to place the matter before the Government of India. I welcome the Centre's prompt decision to refer the issue to a review committee. Due process, transparency and respect for Punjab's cultural and creative voices must always go hand in hand. I am confident that the committee will conduct a comprehensive review, and I remain committed to standing with Punjab's artists and the people of Punjab on this issue."
Dhillon further said that while the rule of law must always be upheld, it is equally important that the genuine concerns of Punjab's film fraternity and the wider public receive a fair and objective hearing. He added that BJP Punjab would continue to engage constructively with all stakeholders to help ensure an expeditious and just resolution of the matter.
