00:00The Congress is now seeking ban on film parasakti in Tamil Nadu.
00:03Pro-DMK film parasakti Sparks Rao.
00:06Congress says that the film shows Congress' flag burnt
00:09and the Congress is now calling for removal of scenes from the film.
00:14The film glorifies Karuna Nidhi and has anti-Hindutwa message.
00:19My colleague Ananga continues to stay with us.
00:21Ananga, what are the objections that have been raised by the Congress party
00:24seeking a ban on this movie?
00:26Congress leaders, they have stated that the portrayal of particularly the former Prime Minister Indira Gandhi
00:35is quite distorted, is what they are saying.
00:37We have the Congress' youth wing senior vice president, Sarun Bhaskar,
00:41who has come out with a letter openly calling for a ban on the parasakti movie.
00:46They are saying that even in post offices, you know, certain portrayals in this film
00:50where in post offices only Hindi forms are being accepted.
00:52He says that this kind of depiction is completely false and there is no really evidence to really say that.
00:59In fact, he also says that there is a false depiction in this movie.
01:02For example, according to the film on 12th February, Indira Gandhi visited Coimbatore.
01:07But in reality, there is no evidence to say that Indira Gandhi really visited Coimbatore on 12th February 1965.
01:13So really, things like this which portray the Congress leaders in a bad life is uncalled for.
01:18And therefore, this movie should be banned is what the Congress leaders are saying.
01:23All right, Anika, thank you for those details and for that context.
01:27So the Congress party is now calling for a ban on the movie parasakti.
