CHENNAI: Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday accused the Information and Broadcasting Ministry of attempting to stall the release of actor-turned-politician Vijay's film 'Jana Nayagan', describing the move as a direct assault on Tamil culture.
In a post on X, the Leader of Opposition (LoP) in the Lok Sabha alleged that the Centre was using the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) to suppress the voices of the Tamil people.
"The I&B Ministry’s attempt to block ‘Jana Nayagan’ is an attack on Tamil culture. Mr. Modi, you will never succeed in suppressing the voice of the Tamil people, " LoP Gandhi said in the post.
