Indira Gandhi assassination: Controversial film blocked

(BBC) India has blocked the release of a film on the assassination of former Indian prime minister Indira Gandhi, after complaints it glorified her killers.


Intelligence agencies had warned of potential violence if it is released.

The film, Kaum De Heere, or Diamonds Of The Community, had been scheduled for release on Friday.

It tells the story of Ms Gandhi's Sikh bodyguards who shot her dead apparently to avenge her decision to send troops in a deadly raid on the Golden Temple.

Sikhs say thousands were murdered when the army entered Sikhism's holiest shrine in Amritsar to flush out militants.

Mrs Gandhi's assassination triggered an outburst of communal violence targeted at Sikhs and more than 3,000 Sikhs were killed in attacks across India.

Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:

Can I have 100 000 baht, please?

Alas, his given name is Mike (apparently), not Matthew! wink.png
