Union Minister Hardeep Singh Puri and BJP MP Anurag Thakur watched the film 'The Sabarmati Report' during its screening on Wednesday.
Puri heaped praise on the Vikrant Massey-starrer 'The Sabarmati Report' and said that "this is a powerful film." "People had no knowledge of the incident, but after Ekta Kapoor decided to make a movie on it, the truth has finally come out. This is a powerful film," Puri told ANI after watching the film. When asked about the film being made tax-free in four states, he said, "It will be made tax-free in other states as well. Those who were making false accusations against the movie will be rattled." The Union Minister also took to X to share his thoughts about 'The Sabarmati Report'. "It is said that a lie travels halfway around the world, while the truth is still tying its shoelaces. Have joined my colleague Sh @TheSureshGopiJi, filmmaker @EktaaRKapoorJi and eminent members of various sections of the society including political leaders, thinkers, media persons, academicians, students, street vendors, former diplomats, jurists, and energy professionals to discover the compelling truth of the unfortunate and brutal 2002 Godhra train burning incident at a special screening of the gripping, intense, thought provoking and expertly crafted #TheSabarmatiReport directed by Dheeraj Sarna,"Hardeep Singh Puri wrote on X. "It is a known fact how attempts were made to twist and distort the narrative, divert the country's attention and use every available machinery to stymy the facts on one of the most shocking massacre of Ram Bhakts travelling in Sabarmati Express at Godhra station. For those who value truth, take pride in their identity and stand for justice this movie is a must see," he added. 'The Sabarmati Report', directed by Dheeraj Sarna, delves into the 2002 Godhra train coach-burning incident, which led to widespread riots in Gujarat. The movie, directed by Dheeraj Sarna and produced by Shobha Kapoor, Ektaa R Kapoor, Amul V Mohan and Anshul Mohan, explores the real-life events of the burning of the S-6 coach of the Sabarmati Express near Godhra station on February 27, 2002. The tragedy claimed the lives of 59 Hindu pilgrims returning from Ayodhya and subsequently triggered riots across Gujarat. (ANI)
