Aarakshan gets into deeper trouble

/> After the protests from organizations supporting job reservations it is now time for the anti-reservationalist lobby to jump up in protest against Parkash Jha's Aaarkshan.

Protestors in Jaipur belonging to the Hindu Mahasabha apparently tore down film's posters earlier this week

The legal impediments to the smooth release of Prakash Jha's Aarakshan just got even more difficult.

An organization, Rashtriya OBC Mukti Morcha has sent a petition to the honourable Chief Justice of the Supreme Court in Delhi challenging Prakash Jha's right to make a film on job-reservation which, according to this petition, is a fundamental right and therefore not open to questioning on any level.

Says Jha, "Yes, the court cases againt Aarakshan are piling up. Why are people including prominent politicians presuming Aarakshan is against job reservation?

Just because I belong to the so-called privileged higher caste? There were three members of the scheduled caste and scheduled tribe in the panel when the film was censored. Would they have approved of the film if it was anti-reservation?"

The anti-Aarakshan brigade is clamouring louder as the day of the release approaches. The latest development on that front is that the Big B has been denied permission to address students at a private in Delhi.

Says Prakash Jha, "The official reason given is, that they cannot ensure ample security in Delhi. But Bachchan Saab has addressed public gatherings so many times in Delhi. It's ridiculous. Bahchan Saab will address students in Delhi, come what may. If nothing works out we will have the summit at a hotel. "
