Screening of Aarakshan banned in Punjab

11 Aug 2011, 1212 hrs IST, AGENCIES

After UP, the Punjab government has also imposed a ban on the release of Prakash Jha's controversial Hindi film Aarakshan'(Reservation) in the state following apprehensions that some scenes and dialogues may trigger trouble.

The Shiromani Akali Dal-BJP government said the ban will remain in force till screening committee constituted by the state previews the movie and submits its report. The decision to ban the Amitabh Bachchan-Saif Ali Khan starrer was taken after receiving intelligence reports that 'Aarakhshan' has certain scenes/dialogues which may inflame the passion of some communities in Punjab, an official spokesman said today.

Yesterday, the Mayawati government had banned the film in UP for two months on the grounds that it could create law and order problem in the state.

The decision to ban the film which is due to hit the screens on Friday was taken following a recommendation by a high level official committee set up by the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) government.

"The main theme of the movie is about commercialisation of education followed by several objectionable dialogues against people from backward communities. There is no discussion on reservation in its second half. We have asked the Censor Board to make necessary changes in it," National Commission for Scheduled Castes Chairman P L Punia said.

The Punjab government has constituted a seven-member committee consisting of Samir Kumar, IAS, Secretary Home, Raj Kumar Atihai, Chairman Safai Karamchari Board, Punjab and Vijay Danav, Chairman, Scheduled Caste Welfare Board and a member of the Punjab Scheduled Caste Commission.

Others on the Committee will be V K Bhawra, Inspector General, Intelligence, Vice Chancellor Punjabi University, Patiala and Vice Chancellor Guru Nanak Dev University Amritsar. The Committee will give its report tomorrow after viewing the film, the official said.

A nine-member team of the Censor Board had given a U/A certificate to the film without any cuts.

It's not actually pathetic Desu. See, in India, the reservation issue is very sensitive and you know there have been riots cause because of it. Esp. when back in 90's riots broke out, some people died because of this reservation thing. Arakshan movie has a lot of sensitive issues. It wouldn't be a surprise if riots broke out again in India because of the movie.

My views on this movie and reservation is not what I stated above. Thats a different thing. What I am telling is what CAN happen because of the issue of reservation and this movie if it releases.

Andhra Pradesh too bans 'Aarakshan', temporarily

11 Aug 2011, 2001 hrs IST, AGENCIES

Ahead of the release of Prakash Jha's controversial film 'Aarakshan', the Andhra Pradesh Government today (Aug 11) temporarily banned its screening in the state.

The Government in its order said that the film may hurt the sentiments of weaker sections. The film has attracted opposition for its alleged anti-reservation stance.

Uttar Pradesh and Punjab have already banned the film, which is slated to hit theatres tomorrow (Aug 12).

"In view of the representations received in the matter, as the exhibition of the film is likely to hurt the feelings of weaker sections, lead to protests and agitations, leading to breach of the peace and tranquillity in the State, it is hereby decided to suspend the exhibition of the Hindi film Aarakshan initially for a period of one week, or till a final decision is taken on the report of the Committee constituted for the purpose, whichever is earlier," the order said.

The decision of a temporary ban was taken after the Government received a representation from Andhra Pradesh Scheduled Kulala Shamikshama Sangam, Hyderabad, and Andhra Pradesh Ambedkar Yujuna Sangam, seeking suspension of the exhibition of the film.

The Government had earlier asked the Commissioner, Information and Public Relations, to examine the matter and submit a report. Today's order was issued based on the report.

The Government has constituted a committee which would watch the film and make a report at the earliest.
