Stop Bhagat Singh, says Censor Board's ex-chief

<div class="section1"><div class="Normal">It''s Bhagat Singh again. BJP MP and former head of the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) Mr Singhal has submitted a petition to the Prime Minister, Atal Bihari Vajpayee to stop the release of these films. <br />In his petition, Singhal charged the films with causing grave outrage. He claims that <span style="" font-style:="" italic="">The Legend of Bhagat Singh</span> and <span style="" font-style:="" italic="">23rd March 1931 Shaheed</span> have distorted history.<br />According to him it is bound to damage the sacred image of Bhagat Singh. He alleges that instead of showing Bhagat Singh as a thinker, political philosopher and a writer, he is being reduced to a romantic hero in these films. <br />Earlier, a Delhi NGO had also moved petitions to the I&B Ministry to stop these films. Though both films have been released, a PIL against these films is coming up for hearing on June 12 in the Punjab and Haryana High Court. <br />The Bhagat Singh war has reached the court too. We will wait for the verdict! </div> </div>
