Cleric seeks ban on 'Chhava' for provoking tensions

A cleric named Maulana Shahabuddin Razvi has called for a ban on the film 'Chhava.' He claims the movie is causing conflict between communities. According to him, it has stirred unrest that led to riots in the city of Nagpur. Razvi, who is the National President of the All India Muslim Jamaat, wrote a letter to Union Home Minister Amit Shah. He is demanding legal action against the film's director, producer, and writer. Razvi argues that 'Chhava' depicts Emperor Aurangzeb in a way that angers Hindu youths. In his letter, he expressed concern that the atmosphere in the country is worsening since the film was released. He stated that the portrayal of Aurangzeb is fueling hatred and leading to inflammatory speeches from Hindu leaders. Razvi has also tried to promote peace through media and by speaking with religious leaders in Nagpur. He emphasized that Muslims in India do not view Aurangzeb as a role model, but simply as a historical ruler.
