The controversy that started over 'The Kandahar Hijack' is not taking the name of stopping. A PIL was filed in the Delhi High Court demanding a ban on the series. Surjit Singh Yadav's petition states that the serial directed by Anubhav Sinha hides the real identity of the terrorists by giving them Hindu names. Earlier, there was a demand on social media to boycott this series. BJP IT cell chief Amit Malviya also opposed this series.
A web series based on The Kandahar Hijack is already in discussion on social media. But the director of the series, Anubhav Sinha, has not given any statement in this matter. He has definitely shared a post on social media, from which the truth of the whole matter can be known.
What is the controversy?
The terrorists involved in the Kandahar hijack were from Pakistan. Their names were Ibrahim Athar, Shahid Akhtar Syed, Sunny Ahmed Qazi, Mistry Zahoor Ibrahim and Shakir. In the Netflix series, the names of these terrorists are shown as Chief, Doctor, Burger, Bhola and Shankar. People opposing the web series say that giving Hindu names to Pakistani terrorists sends a wrong message and people will not know the reality. They will think that the plane was hijacked by Indians.
what the fact?
The casting director of the web series, Mukesh Chhabra, said in an interview that this web series has been made after thorough research. The terrorists in the plane used to call each other by this name. At the end of the web series, the real names of the terrorists are also revealed. According to media reports, the Ministry of External Affairs of the Government of India has also confirmed this in its statement. In 2000, the Government of India had said in a statement that the terrorists in the plane called each other Chief, Doctor, Burger, Bhola and Shankar.
