Punjab BJP president Kewal Singh Dhillon on Tuesday said the controversy surrounding the movie Satluj should now be brought to a close. He said revisiting painful chapters from the past would not benefit anyone.
&nbsp;
Dhillon said Punjab had witnessed enough bloodshed and hardship in the past, and healing from those tragedies was a long process. He said people should honour the memory of all Punjabis who lost their lives, irrespective of their faith, instead of turning the issue into political rhetoric.
&nbsp;
Dhillon also urged the media to report the issue responsibly. He said maintaining peace and harmony in Punjab should remain the top priority.
&nbsp;
His remarks come amid the ongoing row over the Punjabi movie Satluj, which has reignited discussions about the state's troubled past.
