Have joined my colleague Sh @TheSureshGopi Ji, filmmaker @EktaaRKapoor Ji and eminent members of various sections of the society including political leaders, thinkers, media persons, academicians, students, street vendors, former diplomats, jurists, and energy professionals to discover the compelling truth of the unfortunate and brutal 2002 Godhra train burning incident at a special screening of the gripping, intense, thought provoking and expertly crafted #TheSabarmatiReport directed by Dheeraj Sarna”.
“It is a known fact how attempts were made to twist and distort the narrative, divert the country’s attention and use every available machinery to stymy the facts on one of the most shocking massacre of Ram Bhakts travelling in Sabarmati Express at Godhra station. For those who value truth, take pride in their identity and stand for justice this movie is a must see”, he added.
