Petition filed with the Ministry of I&B to ban Udaipur Files
In the latest development in the ongoing controversy surrounding the upcoming film “Udaipur Files”, the President of Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind, Arshad Madani, has announced that a petition has been filed with the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting (MIB) to ban the release of the film. This decision comes after concerns were raised over the film’s content, which has been criticized for promoting communal tension and hatred.
Madani took to social media to inform everyone about the petition, stating that the film is based on hatred and may promote communal tension in society. His tweet read, “The petition states that the film is based on hatred, may promote communal tension in society. We urge the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting to take cognizance of this matter and take necessary steps to prevent the release of this film.”
The petition, which has been filed by Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind, is a significant development in the ongoing controversy surrounding “Udaipur Files”. The film, which stars Vijay Raaz in the lead role, has been criticized for its depiction of Muslims and the way it handles sensitive topics such as communal violence.
The controversy surrounding “Udaipur Files” began when the film’s trailer was released, which showed scenes depicting violence and hatred towards Muslims. Many people in the Muslim community felt that the film was perpetuating Islamophobia and promoting communal tension.
In response to the backlash, the film’s director, Arshad Khan, had defended the film, saying that it was meant to be a thought-provoking and realistic depiction of communal violence. However, many people have criticized the film for its handling of sensitive topics and its potential to promote communal tension.
The petition filed by Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind is the latest development in the ongoing controversy surrounding “Udaipur Files”. The organization has urged the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting to take cognizance of the matter and take necessary steps to prevent the release of the film.
The ministry has yet to comment on the petition, but it is likely that they will take the matter seriously and consider the concerns raised by Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind. In recent years, there has been a growing trend towards censorship and self-regulation in the Indian film industry, and the ministry may be inclined to take action to prevent the release of films that are deemed to be promoting communal tension or hatred.
In conclusion, the petition filed by Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind to ban “Udaipur Files” is a significant development in the ongoing controversy surrounding the film. The organization has raised serious concerns about the film’s content and its potential to promote communal tension and hatred. It remains to be seen whether the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting will take action to prevent the release of the film.
