In the latest development of Udta Punjab, the Minister of State for Information and Broadcasting, Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore retorted to Anurag Kashyap’s ‘North Korea’ at a press conference.
“Do you think or feel you are living in North Korea? no right? Let’s take a vote on who thinks India is as bad as North Korea. I guess that is democracy,” said Rajyavardhan Singh Rathore.

The Udta Punjab controversy seems to be getting uglier with every passing day. Even as he tries to get a clean chit for the film, co-producer Anurag Kashyap also has to deal with convincing people that his fight is with CBFC and not the NDA government.
