Political and law enforcement pressure is mounting against the upcoming web series 'Lawrence of Punjab,' which is set to air on ZEE5 on April 27. Punjab Congress chief Amarinder Singh Raja Warring has written to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, urging the central government to block the series, arguing that it glorifies the notorious gangster Lawrence Bishnoi, who is implicated in the brutal murder of popular Punjabi singer Sidhu Moosewala. Warring expressed that portraying Punjab through the lens of a gangster insults the state's cultural legacy and could negatively influence young viewers. The Punjab Police has also reached out to the Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, citing concerns that the series may glorify organized crime and disrupt public order. This request is made under Section 69A(1) of the Information Technology Act, which allows for blocking content that poses a threat to public safety. The police emphasized the significant impact of digital platforms on impressionable audiences, highlighting the need for immediate action. The Ministry has not yet responded to these urgent requests.
