PIL filed against Paresh Rawal’s The Taj Story over controversial poster depicting Lord Shiva statue

A public interest litigation (PIL) petition has been filed before the Delhi High Court seeking action against the soon-to-be-released film The Taj Story featuring actor Paresh Rawal. The film, scheduled for release on October 31, sparked heated debate following its poster, which depicts a statue of Lord Shiva emerging from the iconic Taj Mahal dome-a visual that reignites the contentious theory alleging the monument’s Hindu temple origins. Advocate Shakeel Abbas, the petitioner, alleges that The Taj Story presents “fabricated and provocative content” about the origins of the Taj Mahal, contradicting established historical consensus and scholarly writings. The petition claims the film’s speculative assertions threaten to erode public faith in history, provoke communal unrest, and potentially damage the international reputation of the Taj Mahal, which is recognized globally as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The plea urges the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) to review the certification granted to the movie and instruct required cuts if necessary to safeguard communal harmony across the country. Furthermore, the PIL requests that a clear disclaimer be added to the film, clarifying that it presents a contested narrative rather than established fact. According to the petition, the movie contains “deeply divisive scenes” that may incite communal tensions and disrupt public peace. The plea also mentions the amplification of controversial statements by political leaders and fringe groups, raising alarms over the potential for nationwide unrest.

Javier Milei’s crypto-friendly party wins Argentine midterm

Argentina’s La Libertad Avanza party, led by President Javier Milei, has won the midterms, positioning Milei as the frontrunner for the 2027 elections. Argentine President Javier Milei’s crypto-friendly party has won the midterm election, positioning him as a leading contender for the October 2027 presidential race and bolstering his continued push for free-market policies. Milei’s La Libertad Avanza party obtained 40. 68% of nearly 99% of votes counted to secure the victory over the Peronist party, according to local news outlet La Nacion. That included a win in the Buenos Aires province, which has historically favored the Peronist party. The results flip the script from September, when Milei’s party lost the Buenos Aires provincial election to the Peronist party in a lopsided outcome. Perhaps the most notable development since then has been Argentina’s $20 billion currency swap with the US strengthening economic ties with one of its biggest allies despite domestic uncertainty.
