Diljit Dosanjh’s Punjab 95 is based on court records, CBI rpts & NHRC docs, & story of Jaswant Singh Khalra, who exposed fake encounters & secret cremations of Sikh youth in 80s-90s.

BJP’s @rpsinghkhalsa had to beg his govt for release. That’s level of censorship against Sikhs

[RP Singh National Spokesperson BJP @rpsinghkhalsa]

I am deeply perturbed by the recent reaction of @diljitdosanjh,
who has portrayed Sardar Jaswant Singh Khalra in Punjab ’95. When even an artist known to consciously stay away from political commentary feels compelled to speak out, it reflects the depth of pain within the Sikh community over the continued blocking of the film’s release.
I urge Shri @prasoonjoshi_, Chairman of the CBFC, to recognise that this is not a matter of technical delay -withholding this film is being perceived as a continuation of the very suppression Sikhs endured under the Congress governments of the 1980s and 1990s. The community still carries the trauma of state excesses from that era -unlawful disappearances, custodial killings, and mass illegal cremations — all of which Sardar Jaswant Singh Khalra courageously exposed before being abducted and murdered for speaking the truth.
By preventing the release of Punjab ’95, the CBFC is unintentionally reinforcing the silence once imposed by that same apparatus and inflicting fresh emotional hurt on a community that has never received closure for those crimes.
Based on my conversation with the film’s director, @HoneyTrehan, the film draws entirely from judicial records and documented court proceedings, including CBI findings. This is not fictitious cinema - it is verified history.
Sardar Khalra is not merely a Sikh figure; he is a global human-rights icon. His name is taught in international institutions, and public spaces abroad honour his legacy. Yet in the very nation whose Constitution he defended with his life, his story remains stalled from reaching its own people.
In recent years, films such as The Kashmir Files, The Kerala Story and The Sabarmati Report were allowed to be released without obstruction. If narrative freedom is respected for those accounts, then a film rooted in judicial evidence cannot be treated differently.
As India marks 50 years since the Emergency -a period remembered for censorship and the silencing of truth - we must not give hardliners an opportunity to weaponise this moment against us.
The continued withholding of Punjab ’95 risks what feels like a second disappearance of Sardar Jaswant Singh Khalra -this time not from physical existence, but from our collective constitutional memory as a nation.
As on 2nd Nov. we approach 30 years since his abduction, I appeal to the Chairman of CBFC to uphold the constitutional right of citizens to access truth, and permit the release of Punjab ’95 -uncut, unaltered, and unafraid.

Whatever happened with CJI by RW hatemongers is highly deplorable & deserves action.

But when @SpeakerSandhwan tagged @DGPPunjabPolice in 2023 asking for action against those who issued genocide threats & abused Sikh Gurus, no one moved @BhagwantMann @SGPCAmritsar @harjotbains

[Countering Hate Against Sikhs @SikhsTHA]

Indian Right Wing is morally bankrupt and ethically rotten.
They generally pretend to respect Sikh Gurus but now indulged in defaming Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji because their bosses now support Taliban.
Their ancestors too sided with Mughals to martyr Guru Gobind Singh Ji’s family.

[mukhtalif jaadugar | مختلف جادوگر @MJaadugar]

"Guru" Tegh Bahadur joined a Mughal army to attack Assamese Hindus.

Sikhs loyally serve the British army, and now loyally serve Pakistani interests.

@TajinderSTS You should be ashamed of batting for direct descendants of Abdali who attacked Darbar Sahib multiple times.

This is Ahmad Shah Abdali’s mausoleum in Kandhar where your Taliban brothers still bow their heads in respect.

[Countering Hate Against Sikhs @SikhsTHA]

When it suits them, RW mocks Sikhs for fleeing Taliban terror, but same RW celebrates friendship with Taliban when power demands it.
Now you understand why hill kings joined Mughals to attack Guru Gobind Singh Ji & his family.

@TajinderSTS You should be ashamed of batting for direct descendants of Abdali who attacked Darbar Sahib multiple times.

This is Ahmad Shah Abdali’s mausoleum in Kandhar where your Taliban brothers still bow their heads in respect.

[Countering Hate Against Sikhs @SikhsTHA]

Taliban came from Durrani/Abdali tribe once led by Ahmed Shah Abdali who invaded India many times in 18th century and looted wealth, abducted women, children. Sikhs fought them to rescue captives.
Today RW mocks Sikhs, and rolls red carpet for Abdali’s offspring.

[Countering Hate Against Sikhs @SikhsTHA]

Diljit is paying the price for being a Sikh. Otherwise, Hero, Wonder Cement, Royal Stag, Havells, Vimal Paan Masala, and Asian Paints sponsored the India–Pakistan cricket match, and no Sanghi protested outside these brands’ showrooms.

[Countering Hate Against Sikhs @SikhsTHA]

Check how much hatred @TheAusToday has for Sikhs
Sikh boy Sukhmandeep Singh won NSW State Champion but they removed ‘Singh’ from his name.

When reporting truck driver arrest in Canada they made sure to add ‘Singh’.

Why @Pallavi_Aus @DrAmitSarwal ?

[Countering Hate Against Sikhs @SikhsTHA]

@Alpha_Abhijit Is Kailash Manasarovar Yatra also done through Dubai?

PS: China supplied PL-15 missiles and other gear to attack & target India.

[Countering Hate Against Sikhs @SikhsTHA]

News 1: Govt of India bars Sikh pilgrims from visiting Pakistan for Guru Nanak Dev Ji’s Prakash Gurpurab in Nov 2025.

News 2: The same Govt happily approved Indian cricket team to play against Pakistan in Sep 2025.

In the heart of devastation, Sikhs recite Gurbani at relief camps. Where else do you find such resilience?

[Countering Hate Against Sikhs @SikhsTHA]

Been 30 years since the Shaheedi of Bhai Jaswant Singh Khalra. He exposed the disappearances of thousands of Sikhs in Punjab & was abducted & murdered for daring to speak truth. His light against darkness continues to guide us.

[Countering Hate Against Sikhs @SikhsTHA]

Indian media is the global HQ of disinformation, bigotry & minority hate.

@ItsShubhangi Why delete your tweet blaming Sikhs without evidence?
Fabricated fear-mongering doesn’t become journalism just because you wear a press badge.

[Countering Hate Against Sikhs @SikhsTHA]

BJP Punjab’s @BJP4Punjab stance on Operation Bluestar is interesting.

At first, they called out “Bharat Sarkar” (Govt of India) for attacking Darbar Sahib, even referring to the victims as martyrs.
But when someone pulled strings from Delhi, the posts vanished.

[Countering Hate Against Sikhs @SikhsTHA]

Our handle was withheld for exposing & opposing vile propaganda that tried to drag Sikhs & Darbar Sahib into Indo-Pak conflict.

It’s now clear that this fear-mongering was a coordinated attack by godi media, RW, dirty politicians, and a few complicit army officers.

[Countering Hate Against Sikhs @SikhsTHA]

Those who once wholeheartedly supported Indira Gandhi’s oppression against Sikhs may have changed their political allegiance in 2025 but their anti-Sikh hatred remains unchanged.

New parties, same poison.

[Countering Hate Against Sikhs @SikhsTHA]

Some people felt it’s a lie and propaganda that pahadi rajas supported Mughals against Sikh Gurus.

Odd day: RW extremists mock Sikhs for fleeing Taliban’s atrocities
Even day: They justify India’s friendly ties with Taliban

Democracy’s so strong, it gets diarrhea every time you speak against it.
