Jalandhar, September 23

An FIR has been registered against the cast and crew of Punjabi movie “Buhe Bariyan” under the SC/ST (Prevention of Atrocities) Act for allegedly portraying members of the Dalit community in a derogatory light.

The FIR was registered at the Adampur police station after members of the Ravidassia and Valmiki communities filed a complaint in this regard against the film’s director, writer, producer and actor.

The members said they would take up the issue of banning the Neeru Bajwa and Nirmal Rishi-starrer movie with the Punjab CM.

In his statement, Jassi Talhan, president of the Guru Ravidass Tiger Force, said: “Owners of all cinema halls should stop showing this film. If they will not do so, our community members will gherao the cinema halls.”

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
