Punjab bans Ram Rahim's 'Messenger of God' after protests from Sikhs

The Punjab government banned the screening of ‘MSG: The Messenger of God’ starring chief of Dera Sacha Sauda Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh 


Following a call by Akal Takht, the highest Sikh temporal authority, and other hardliner Sikh groups, the Punjab government on Saturday banned the screening of ‘MSG: The Messenger of God’ starring chief of Dera Sacha Sauda Gurmeet Ram Rahim Singh. 

A state government spokesperson said the film has been banned following “reports of tension surrounding its release in some other parts of the country”. 

"The decision has been taken in the larger and crucial interest of preserving peace and social harmony in the state and safeguarding the age-old emotional bonds among people professing different faiths in the state.
