(Web Desk) - The Pakistan Peoples Party has strongly condemned the recent Indian spy thriller ‘Dhurandhar’ for misusing images of former Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto.
Sumeta Afzal Syed, spokesperson for the PPP and member of the Sindh Task Force, said: “The newly released Indian film Dhurandar has unlawfully used images of Shaheed Mohtarma Benazir Bhutto and disgracefully attempted to portray the PPP as sympathetic to terrorists.”
Syed emphasised that the party has consistently opposed extremism and condemned the depiction as a malicious distortion of Bhutto’s legacy.
She added: “The PPP has been a frontline victim of terrorism and has always stood — and will always stand — as the strongest force against extremism.
“We strongly condemn this malicious distortion and urge the government to take immediate notice of India’s attempt to malign Pakistan’s former Prime Minister and an internationally respected democratic leader.”
Directed by Aditya Dhar, Dhurandhar stars Ranveer Singh and Akshaye Khanna and is based on the 2001 Indian Parliament attack.
The film has previously faced criticism, with critics arguing that the movie exaggerates Pakistan’s internal conflicts and political history.
