A film on Punjab's insurgency era has ignited a political and social debate in the state. Diljit Dosanjh's Satluj, based on the life and work of human rights activist Jaswant Singh Khalra, has reopened discussions over Punjab's turbulent past and how it should be remembered. The controversy has drawn political attention, with the Shiromani Akali Dal announcing statewide screenings of the film, while the Akal Takht has planned special Ardas on the banks of the Satluj to honour those affected during the militancy period.
