Manmohan Singh: History will treat me more kindly.
Kindly? History will treat you as a GOD, greater than Gandhi. Eventually. Write it down.
OK am exaggerating a bit, but you get my point.
This is a shitty take but let’s take it at face value.
What’s wrong if it is about the votes? In any civilized country, what’s wrong with saying “do not vote for those who oversee or whitewash a genocide”?
The Sikhs of Punjab have been carrying the pain for decades. Satluj merely shares a story which has been buried for decades. Why are everyone’s pants on fire suddenly? Because the truth is bitter and it makes us confront dark chapters of our own past?
As far as the allegation of “rekindling anger” goes, what exactly does it mean? That people’s wounds will automatically heal by burying the past?
Sardar Jaswant Singh Khalra was murdered by the system. Why? Because he exposed the murders of thousands of innocents by that same system.
Where exactly is the “debate” then? There can be NO JUSTIFICATION for what happened in Punjab.
There’s only two kinds of people who justify atrocities by the system:
1. Those who have lived in a bubble & have perpetually benefited from the system (no matter who is in power)
2. Those who played an active role in whitewashing atrocities in the past & now feel uncomfortable when they’re exposed
There’s no third type. So makes you wonder…
✍🏾 CMO of Civil Hospital, Patti, revealed instances where living individuals were brought for post-mortem, taken back by police, and later returned deceased for the autopsy.
This mirrors the case of #SakaNakodar Martyr Bhai Harminder Singh Ji Chaluper.

A Hindu family is thanking Khalra ji for saving their grandfather Gulshan kumar a hindu who was framed as khadku by police and demanded a sum of 2 lakh rupees.
It destroyed the propaganda run by these dalley dim-wits ...

A film depicting the life of a Sikh human rights activist has ignited a political row in India after it was pulled from a streaming platform https://t.co/h3qgq70MBe
A film about slain Sikh activist Jaswant Singh Khalra is being screened across India after its removal from a streaming platform.
Khalra exposed killings and secret cremations by Indian security forces during the Punjab insurgency.
@keshavbedi Yr mujhe teri baatien sahi sahi lagti thi!! Ki sarkar ko question krte ho!! Sahi ko sahi an galt ko galt bolte ho!!
Pr panjab or sikho ke tym itni hramjadgi pe kyu utr aate ho!!
bhenchod delhi de dalle!!
Kps gill ne hinduo k bache b mare hain utha k parhlena pehle madarchoda!!
Couple of months ago this bastard was booked by police for spreading communal disharmony and he was let go after whipping his ass for 30 days.
Imagine if it was 1995, couple of SIs would have been promoted to Inspector rank for ‘finishing a terrorist for spreading communal violence’.
Diljit Dosanjh said the government has been trying to silence Punjab’s voice since 1995, and even in 2026 it continues the same. He expressed relief that Satluj has reached everywhere, and everyone has already downloaded and they cannot silence #Satluj now.
KPS Gill was a terrorist who claimed to fight terrorism. He abused the power of his uniform to butcher thousands of innocents in Punjab.
KPS Gill needs to be consigned to the dustbin of history for all the blood he has on his hands. That he was a convicted sexual predator is fitting for someone who was drunk on power.
There have been scores of great officers in India’s police history. KPS Gill, on the other hand, is a dark stain whose crimes have gone unacknowledged for decades.
The Padma Shri given to KPS Gill in 1989 must be withdrawn.
Let us begin to correct history albeit belatedly. Our nation deserves better than to glorify such diabolical murderers.
Mr. @prasoonjoshi_
Can you please enlighten us on why 127 cuts were recommended for the film Panjab '95?
The same film, now renamed ‘Satluj’, has been taken down from an OTT platform in less than two days. The CBFC has no jurisdiction over OTT platforms or international releases.
Panjab '95 tells the story of Jaswant Singh Khalra, a man who exposed documented human rights abuses and paid for it with his life. If a film based on documented facts cannot be seen by Indian audiences, then the public deserves to know why.
This sends a very direct message to filmmakers and production companies: if you're paying homage to a great personality from a minority community, you'll have to face the CBFC.
Journalists should be asking the people running this censor board some hard questions. Why are some politically insensitive films able to pass with ease while others spend years in limbo?
A red carpet for Kashmir Files, Bengal Files, and Kerala Story. Roses for Dhurandar 1 & 2, a fictional documentary/explainer for the unthinkable and the unexplainable.
How does it feel to feast on four years of a director's career?
In Nehru's India, this would have been litigated in court. If filmmakers cannot tell the stories of people who stood up for justice without years of obstruction, what kind of cinema are we encouraging them to make?
Jaswant Singh Khalra Abducted again,
This time by the CBFC
