New Controversy Threatens 'Rang De Basanti'

New Controversy Threatens 'Rang De Basanti'
- Abid Let us know what you think about this story

While the 32 crore Aamir Khan starrer 'Rang De Basanti' has opened to an excellent city and multiplexes response ,after overcoming two major (by now well known) controversies , a third one is round the corner . No , we are not talking about the two day old pirated CD seizure at Bombay's airport , something that the media has been highlighting on and on .

According to sources , an objectionable slogan on the posters of the movie is drawing the wrath of the sikh community . Both , the 'SGPC' ('Shiromani Gurdwara Prabandhak Committee' )and the 'Jathedar' of the 'Shri Damdama Sahib Nandgarh' have reacted strongly to it .

While the posters show Aamir Khan on a horseback , the other side has the lead actors of the movie embracing each other . However, the sikh organisation have taken exception to what is written in Hindi and Punjabi (in bold letters)at the lower side of the poster - "Raaj Karega Khalsa ."

'SGPC' media secretary G.S. Bedi and Jathedaar of the 'Shri Damdama Sahib Nandgarh ' (Talwandi ), Balwant Singh have called it a matter of great concern and called for a ban on 'Rang De Basanti' as it ammounts to an isult of the entire sikh community . What must be kept in mind is that the same organisations were successful in getting Sunny Deol's 'Jo Bole So Nihal ' banned .
