Udta Punjab controversy Empty Udta Punjab controversy

The controversy as I ( ashdoc ) understand it---

The movie is named Udta Punjab---meaning ' Punjab ( Indian state ) on a ( drug fuelled ) high ' . It claims that the Indian state of Punjab is one of most drug addicted areas in the world . 

If the movie is released , then the ruling government in Punjab is sure to lose the next elections---as the movie blames the ruling political establishment for being neglectful towards the drug problem in Punjab .

The movie has been temporarily banned . The censor board is asking that several cuts be made in the movie . The movie makers are saying that the cuts are being demanded under political pressure . 

The censor board has another story to tell . It says that movie brands the entire state of Punjab as being full of drug addicts and thus brands the entire punjabi community as drug addict . Also too many cuss words are used . Also dialogues like ' entire punjabi land is barren it's sons are impotent ' etc have been used . 

So the controversy stands....
