BJP spokesperson appeals to Finance Minister to make ‘Indu Sarkar’ tax-free

A couple of days back, CBFC chief Pahlaj Nihalani, in a statement, showered praise on filmmaker Madhur Bhandarkar after watching the trailer of his upcoming release ‘Indu Sarkar’. In his words, the film will blow the lid off one of the most ‘shameful’ chapters of Indian politics.

Now, Tajinder Pal Singh Bagga, the Delhi spokesperson of Bhartiya Janta Party (BJP) and the party’s youth leader has requested Finance Minister Arun Jaitely to make the film tax-free. (Also Read: Pahlaj Nihalani lauds Madhur Bhandarkar’s ‘Indu Sarkar’ for unveiling a ‘shameful chapter’)

In his letter to Jaitely, Bagga says ‘Indu Sarkar’ should be tax-free so that more people can “know about the unfortunate dark phase of our democracy”.

Starring Kirti Kulhari, Neil Nitin Mukesh, Anupam Kher and Tota Roy Chowdhury in pivotal roles, ‘Indu Sarkar’ is said to be majorly a work of fiction, although it has evident references to India’s oldest political clan and will portray the phase of emergency, declared by Prime Minister Indira Gandhi in 1975.

The film hits theatres on July 28.
