Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Mohan Yadav and his cabinet colleagues will watch the film ‘The Sabarmati Report’ in Bhopal on Wednesday. A special screening will be organized at Ashoka Open Theater in Bhopal. The council of ministers will watch the film together and after that, CM Yadav will chair a cabinet meeting in the late evening.

On Tuesday, Chief Minister Yadav declared ‘Sabarmati Report’ star Vikrant Massey tax-exempt across the state. The Chief Minister also appealed to the people to watch the film which reveals the truth about the Godhara incident.

“We have decided to make the film ‘The Sabarmati Report’ tax-free so that as many people as possible can watch the film. I would also watch the film with other ministers,” CM Yadav said.

The Madhya Pradesh government decided to make the film tax-free after Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Amit Shah approved it.

A special screening was also held in New Delhi on Monday in the presence of Minister for Youth Affairs, Sports, Labor and Employment Mansukh Mandaviya, BJP MP Manoj Tiwari and actor Vikrant Massey.

The film also stars Ridhi Digra and Raashii Khanna in lead roles.

Released on November 15, the film has gathered a good collection at the box office. The film is based on the fire of Sabarmati Express S6 coach near Godhra railway station (Gujarat) on February 27, 2002. At least 59 Hindu devotees returning from Ayodhya were burnt alive in the incident, which subsequently led to the Gujarat riots.
