Petition filed with the Ministry of I&B to ban Udaipur Files
The controversy surrounding the upcoming film Udaipur Files has taken a new turn with the President of Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind, Arshad Madani, announcing that they have filed a petition with the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting to ban the release of the Vijay Raaz-starrer. Madani took to social media to inform everyone about the move, stating that the petition highlights that the film is based on hatred and may promote communal tension in society.
According to reports, the petition filed by Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind with the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting (MIB) claims that Udaipur Files is a film that promotes hatred and communal tension. The petition further alleges that the film’s content is likely to harm social harmony and may even lead to violence.
The controversy surrounding Udaipur Files began when the film’s trailer was released, sparking outrage among many who felt that the film’s depiction of violence and communal clashes was irresponsible and harmful. The film’s director, however, has maintained that the film is a work of fiction and is meant to highlight the issue of communal violence in the country.
The petition filed by Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind is the latest development in the ongoing controversy surrounding Udaipur Files. The organization has reportedly asked the MIB to take immediate action to ban the release of the film, citing concerns that it may promote hatred and communal tension.
The move by Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind has sparked a heated debate on social media, with many taking to Twitter to express their opinions on the matter. While some have called for the film to be banned, others have argued that the film should be released and that people should be given the freedom to make their own choices.
The controversy surrounding Udaipur Files is not the first time that a film has been at the center of a controversy. In recent years, several films have been banned or faced backlash for their content, including Kabir Singh, which faced criticism for its depiction of domestic violence and toxic masculinity.
The ban on Udaipur Files is not a new phenomenon, as several films have been banned in the past for their content. In 2019, the Indian government banned the release of the film “Why I Killed Gandhi”, which was based on the life of Nathuram Godse, the assassin of Mahatma Gandhi.
The ban on films is a contentious issue, with many arguing that it is a violation of artistic freedom and that people should be given the freedom to make their own choices. Others argue that the government has a responsibility to regulate the content of films and to protect the interests of society.
In conclusion, the petition filed by Jamiat Ulama-i-Hind to ban the release of Udaipur Files is the latest development in the ongoing controversy surrounding the film. The controversy highlights the ongoing debate on the role of films in society and the need for balance between artistic freedom and the protection of society.
