Prime Minister Narendra Modi reacted to the just released film The Sabarmati Report, while saying “A fake narrative can persist only for a limited period of time. Eventually, the facts will always come out!.” A few hours earlier on Friday, the movie premiered and started raising conversations about the Godhra train incident and aftermath of 2002.

Modi, in a message posted on the social media platform X, (formerly Twitter), while emphasizing that facts need to come out, noted that the movie is about the tragic train burning near Godhra station of Gujarat and goes ahead to describe the horrific events leading to flare-up violence in the entire state. “Well said. It is good that this truth is coming out, and that too in a way common people can see it.

A fake narrative can persist only for a limited period of time. Eventually, the facts will always come out!” Modi wrote with his endorsement of the movie. The Sabarmati Report: Unraveling the Saga of the Godhra Train Tragedy of 2002 Vikrant Massey, who has been featured in Mirzapur and 12th Fail, is the lead.

The film revolves around the incident of the Godhra train fire of 2002, in which 59 people died by that devastating train fire. Most of these deceased were Hindu pilgrims who were heading to Ayodhya on a religious pilgrimage. What was later confirmed as an incident of arson led to full-blown riots across the state, eventually leading to the deaths of more than 1,000 people in the subsequent rioting violence.
