Ravneet Bittu challenges makers of 'Satluj', demands proof for undocumented 25,000 killings claim
PTC News Desk: Union Minister of State Ravneet Singh Bittu has issued an open challenge to the makers of the film Satluj. He asked them to produce credible documentary evidence and official records to support the film's claim that 25,000 people went missing or were illegally cremated.
Bittu said the filmmakers must present proof of these claims before the public, failing which legal action would be initiated against them. He added that if the makers are able to provide authentic documents supporting the figures shown in the film, he would publicly apologise.
Bittu has been consistently questioning the claims made by the filmmakers. A day earlier, he challenged them to make a film on the killing of government school principal Nirmal Kanta of Patiala, who was allegedly murdered by terrorists in front of her students.
Bittu said that no responsible filmmaker has the right to distort history by presenting contested figures as unquestionable truth. Punjab paid a terrible price during the years of terrorism. Every innocent victim deserves justice and remembrance—irrespective of religion, community or ideology.
