Lukhnow. Indraprasth aka New Delhi - The Mayawati Government on
Wednesday night banned the release of Prakash Jha's controversial
Hindi film Aarakshan in Uttar Pradesh for two months on the grounds
it would create law and order problem in the State.
A decision to ban the film which is due to hit the screens on Friday
was taken following a recommendation by a high level official
committee set up by the Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) Government.
The committee comprising Principal secretaries of Finance,
Information, Higher Education and Rural Development departments and
an official of Entertainment tax commttee had watched the Amitabh
Bachchan-Saif Ali Khan starrer and submitted their report to the
State Government this evening. Hours before the UP Government imposed
the ban, the National Commission for Scheduled Castes asked the
Censor Board to make necessary changes in the film before its
release, objecting to the "derogatory way" the backward community has
been featured in it.
The move by the Commission came after its members watched a special
screening in Delhi.
