Sukhbir Badal to Screen Film 'Satluj' on 1984 Sikh Persecution

Shiromani Akali Dal leader Sukhbir Badal has announced plans to screen the film 'Satluj', which depicts the suffering of Sikhs during a turbulent period in the 1980s. Badal described the film as a truthful account of a painful era that followed the Congress government's military operation at the Golden Temple in Amritsar. He stated the film also portrays the killing of thousands of unarmed Sikh youth during that period. The screening is intended to highlight what Badal called the torture and sacrifices endured by the Sikh community.
