Why Satluj has pushed Punjab’s parties onto uncomfortable political ground
The film 'Satluj,' which explores Punjab's separatist militancy, has sparked a political controversy ahead of the 2027 Assembly elections, forcing parties to navigate sensitive historical narratives. While no party has openly opposed the film, leaders are cautiously addressing its impact as it stirs painful memories for many Sikh families. The film's removal from streaming has intensified political discourse, prompting demands for its restoration and adding complexity to party strategies as they prepare for the polls.
