The controversy surrounding Honey Trehan’s Diljeet Dosanjh-starrer Satluj (formerly Punjab ’95) has ignited fresh debate and backlash after the film was pulled from ZEE5 just two days after its release. Amid rising discussions about releasing an uncut version of the biographical film about Punjab activist Jaswant Singh Khalra, the controversy has thrust one of Punjab’s most haunting chapters into the national spotlight.
With debates continuing over the film’s removal from an OTT platform, Khalra’s daughter, Navkiran Kaur Khalra, has spoken publicly about the day her father disappeared, and why his story continues to resonate more than three decades later.
Navkiran Kaur Khalra says her father ‘knew the risks he was taking’
In a recent interview with The Indian Express, Navkiran revisited the events leading up to her father’s abduction in 1995, sharing deeply personal memories of the activist whose investigation into thousands of alleged illegal cremations made international headlines. Navkiran was just 10 years old when her father, Jaswant Singh Khalra, was taken in by the Punjab police. He was abducted from outside his Amritsar home on September 6, 1995.
