Amrinder Singh Raja Warring, the Punjab Congress chief, has called for a ban on the ZEE5 docu-series 'Lawrence of Punjab', which focuses on gangster Lawrence Bishnoi. Warring argues that the series, set to release on April 27, glorifies gangster culture and poses a risk to the youth of Punjab. He plans to file a Public Interest Litigation in the Punjab and Haryana High Court, asserting that such content misguides young people and undermines the values of Punjab, a region known for its spiritual heritage. Warring emphasized that turning criminals into heroes is dangerous and questioned the motivations behind the series. Bishnoi, currently imprisoned in Gujarat, is implicated in multiple criminal activities, including the murder of popular singer Sidhu Moosewala. Warring also expressed concern over the lack of response from both state and central governments regarding this portrayal of crime and violence.
