Hooda Community Demands FIR Against Netflix Film 'Do Patti'

A significant controversy has erupted in Haryana over the Netflix film 'Do Patti', with the Sarv Hooda Khap demanding strict legal action against the filmmakers for allegedly maligning the Hooda gotra within the Jat community. 

Community Leadership Speaks Out

Surender Singh Hooda, a senior member of the Sarv Hooda Khap's high-level committee, has written a formal letter highlighting the pressing concerns. He emphasized that despite multiple objections, no First Information Report (FIR) has been registered against the film's producers, director, actors, and the streaming platform Netflix.

Allegations of Deliberate Defamation

Hooda strongly argued that the film represents a "criminal conspiracy" to defame the Hooda gotra. He expressed deep disappointment that local law enforcement considers the matter non-criminal, while the community views it as a targeted attempt to malign their reputation.

Government's Perceived Inaction 

The community leadership has criticized the Haryana state government for its perceived lack of decisive action. Surender Singh Hooda pointed out that neither have legal proceedings been initiated nor has the state government approached the central government to request removal of offensive dialogues.

Political and Social Implications

The controversy takes an interesting turn as Hooda noted the apparent contradiction where some political leaders seem more focused on promoting films related to sensitive issues like the Godhra incident while ignoring potential community sentiments. 

Community Mobilization

The Sarv Hooda Khap has decided to convene a high-level committee meeting to determine the future course of action. They are considering various strategies to address what they perceive as systematic defamation. 

The film 'Do Patti' continues to be a focal point of discussion, with the Hooda community demanding comprehensive review and potential legal intervention.
