‘Will Shake Ground Beneath People...': Rajasthan Minister On Release Of ‘Udaipur Files' Film
Last Updated: Rajasthan Minister Jogaram Patel criticised the previous Congress government for failing in the 2022 murder of Udaipur tailor Kanhaiya Lal. Rajasthan Minister Jogaram Patel launched a scathing attack on the previous Ashok Gehlot-led Congress government over the murder of Udaipur-based tailor Kanhaiya Lal in 2022 and said that it was 'one of the biggest failures" of the former regime. His remarks came amid the continuing legal battle over the release of the film 'Udaipur Files – Kanhaiya Lal Tailor Murder", which is based on the high-profile killing. The film's release remains suspended and is awaiting the decision of the Centre-appointed panel to hear objections against the film. 'The Kanhaiya Lal murder case is one of the biggest failures of the previous Congress government. Just to stay in the headlines, former CM Ashok Gehlot recently claimed that the trial in this case is not taking place," he said. He further said that the trial of the culprits is underway and the government is pursuing the case effectively. "The chargesheet has already been filed and the trial is underway. As the matter is sub-judice, I cannot comment further. The government is pursuing the case effectively and we are fully confident that the trial will conclude soon and the culprits will be awarded capital punishment," he added. Speaking at the event, Patel also issued a veiled warning regarding the potential impact of the film. 'The matter related to the film is in the court. Since it is sub-judice, I cannot comment much. I can only say the day this film is released, it will shake the ground beneath many people." The film, Udaipur Files– Kanhaiya Lal Tailor Murder, remains under a judicial stay following an order by the Delhi High Court on July 10. The matter reached the Supreme Court on Wednesday and it deferred the case to July 21 and instructed all parties to await the decision of a central government-appointed panel. When the filmmakers argued that the Delhi High Court was wrong to block the film's release as it violated their right to free speech, the Supreme Court responded by saying that the right to life (Article 21) takes priority over the right to freedom of speech and expression (Article 19). The Court said it expects the Centre's committee to make a decision 'immediately, without loss of time," and has scheduled the next hearing for Monday, keeping in mind the urgency raised by the film's makers. The film depicts the 2022 murder of tailor Kanhaiya Lal in Udaipur, Rajasthan, who was killed by Mohammad Riyaz Attari and Ghaus Mohammad. The killing, carried out in broad daylight, had sparked national outrage. (With inputs from PTI) view comments Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
