Rahul Gandhi Accuses I&B Ministry of Blocking Jana Nayagan, Calls It an Attack on Tamil Culture:: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Monday accused the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting (I&B) of blocking the release of the Tamil film Jana Nayagan, describing the move as an “attack on Tamil culture.” He alleged that the decision was part of a broader attempt to suppress regional voices and stifle artistic expression in Tamil Nadu.
Addressing the media, Mr. Gandhi asserted that Prime Minister Narendra Modi and his government “can never succeed” in silencing the voices of the Tamil people. He urged authorities to allow the film’s release, stressing the importance of protecting freedom of expression and respecting regional cultural identity.
The controversy has drawn attention from film industry stakeholders, who have raised concerns over transparency and fairness in film certification and release processes. Analysts noted that the dispute highlights ongoing tensions between the central government and regional communities regarding cultural representation, censorship, and the right of local audiences to access creative works in their language.
