Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has strongly criticised the Centre, accusing it of trying to block the release of the much-anticipated Tamil film Jana Nayagan, starring actor-politician Vijay.RAHUL Gandhi said the move by the Information & Broadcasting Ministry to delay certification was tantamount to an attack on Tamil culture and an attempt to suppress the voice of the people.
The controversy intensified after the film’s producer approached the Supreme Court, challenging a Madras High Court order that stayed a directive to grant the CBFC clearance. Rahul Gandhi, in a post on X, said efforts to hinder the film reflected growing intolerance towards regional voices and cultural expression.
