UP Cong demands ban on Nishabd
New Delhi: Director Ram Gopal Varma's controversy-ridden Nishabd has crash-landed into yet another row and this time it's the Congress which is playing spoilt sport.
The Congress in Uttar Pradesh on Saturday demanded a ban on Varma's latest release in which superstar Amitabh Bachchan romances Jiah Khan, who is more than 40 years younger to him.
Congress Spokesman Pervez Ahmed Khan told PTI that the film is against Indian culture and the screening should be banned immediately.
In a letter to Information and Broadcasting Minister Priyaranjan Dasmunsi, Khan said Bachchan is regarded as a role model in India and the film's screening will have an adverse impact on the people and the society.
"It would be in people's interest if the screening of the film is banned immediately," he said in the letter.
