21 member 'Sikh censor board’ constituted by Sri Akal Takht
After a ban was imposed on movie ‘Nanak Shah Fakir’, a 21 member Sikh censor board has been formed by Sri Akal Takht on Tuesday. The SGPC during its recent budget session demanded representation on the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC), or the censor board. This board will include representatives of the SGPC, Delhi Sikh Gurdwara Management Committee (DSGMC), Sant Samaj, Sikh sects and other Sikh institutions, Sikh historians and intellectuals, religious personalities and filmmakers. Permission of this board will be mandatory for the script for every filmmaker before making a film related to Sikh religion. On recommendation of this board, Sri Akal Takht Sahib will be giving final approval to any of such movie.
