Madhya Pradesh govt to make ‘The Sabarmati Report’ film tax free

The Sabarmati Report revolves around the 2002 Godhra burning train incident, which triggered riots in Gujarat. The Madhya Pradesh government on Tuesday decided to declare The Sabarmati Report, a film about the 2002 Godhra train burning incident, tax-free in the state. MP chief minister Mohan Yadav made this announcement and said he would also go to watch the movie. Helmed by Dheeraj Sarna, the film stars Vikrant Massey, Ridhi Dogra and Raashii Khanna, among others. The Sabarmati Report revolves around the 2002 Godhra burning train incident, which triggered riots in Gujarat.

“The Sabarmati Report is a very good movie. I will go to watch the movie myself. I also told my ministers, MLAs and MPs to watch this film. We are also going to make it tax-free in the state so that maximum people can watch it,” the MP CM told reporters in Bhopal.

He said it (the Godhra incident) was a dark chapter of the past, and the truth will come out through the film. While accusing the opposition of playing “dirty politics” on the Godhra incident for the vote bank, he said that Prime Minister Narendra Modi, who was then the chief minister of Gujarat, saved the honour of the state and the country.

Earlier on Sunday, PM Modi said a fake narrative can persist only for a limited period of time while referring to The Sabarmati Report film. PM Modi made the comments on X, reacting to a user’s post praising the movie The Sabarmati Report for “bringing out the important truth of one of the most shameful events in our recent history”.
