National SC/ST Commission sends summons to Leela Samson

-The Hindu

 

The National Commission for Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes has issued summons to Leela Samson, chairpersons of the Central Board of Film Certification, to appear before it on August 8 in connection with the upcoming Bollywood movie ‘ Aarakshan ' (Reservations).

Commission has called Ms. Samson to examine whether the movie violated any provision of the SC/ST Prevention of Atrocities Act, Sameer Bhujbal, MP and son of prominent Maharashtra OBC (other backward caste) leader Chhagan Bhujbal, said in a press statement on Tuesday.

Dalit and OBC leaders have already demanded a preview of the film which is slated to release on August 12. They have warned of action if the stand in the movie is found to be anti-reservations.

All India Mahatma Phule Samata Parishad has called for a peaceful protest depending on the film content.
