A controversy has erupted in Patiala over singer and actor Gippy Grewal`s recently released film ‘Akaal: The Unconquered’. The Patiala police have detained Baba Bakshish Singh, who had protested against the film. Baba Bakshish Singh says he and his committee have always opposed films that portray Sikh characters in an inappropriate manner.
He alleged that Sikh characters in the film are being shown as drinking, consuming tobacco or as` mundit `(without hair), which is an insult to Sikh history and tradition. He said if the film is based on Sikh warriors like Hari Singh Nalua or Jassa Singh Ahluwalia then those playing them should be shown with full reverence and dignity.
Baba Bakshish Singh made it clear that he would not allow such films to run at any cost, even if he had to make any sacrifice for it. He alleged that the government and the administration were supporting such filmmakers whose motive is to undermine Sikh history. He shared that as Hindu gods and goddesses are being played on the stage today, the same treatment will be meted out to Sikh heroes tomorrow.
