New Delhi (Staff Correspondent), November 17: Sharing a post of Alok Bhatt on social media website ‘X’, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday said that Bollywood film ‘Sabarmati Report’ rightly pointed out about the 2002 Hindu-muslim riots in Gujarat.
PM Modi wrote on X, “Well said. It is good that this truth is coming out, and that too in a way common people can see it. A fake narrative can persist only for a limited period of time. Eventually, the facts will always come out!”
Alok Bhatt wrote that film ‘Sabarmati Report’ was a must watch film. He sahred his views in four points-
1. The effort is particularly commendable because it brings out the important truth of one of the most shameful events in our recent history.
2. The makers of the film handled this issue with a lot of sensitivity and dignity.
3.

Their ecosystem peddled one lie after another other just to satisfy their own petty agenda.
4. Finally 59 innocent victims got to speak for themselves. Yes, as they say, truth alone triumphs. This movie is indeed a fitting tribute to those 59 innocent men, women and children we lost that February morning.
