AAP Cites Bibi Paramjit Kaur Khalra’s Claim
Referring to claims made by Bibi Paramjit Kaur Khalra, Kuldeep Singh said the Sutlej Film portrays the alleged atrocities committed against Punjab’s youth during the Congress regime. He further claimed that Bibi Khalra alleged a letter requesting a ban on the film was sent to the Central Government by Shiromani Akali Dal leader Sukhbir Singh Badal.
According to Kuldeep Singh, preventing the Sutlej Film from reaching audiences would be unfortunate, as he described the film as an important portrayal of Punjab’s history.
