Good that truth is coming out, says PM Modi as he praises Vikrant Massey-starrer 'The Sabarmati Report '

New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday praised the film The Sabarmati Report, saying that the “truth is coming out”. The movie, which stars Vikrant Massey, is based on the events that led to the death of 59 pilgrims in the Sabarmati Express after the train was burnt, which in turn led to the Godhra riots leaving over a thousand dead. Modi, who was then the chief minister of Gujarat, had faced criticism over the incident.

On X, the prime minister reacted to a post by a user who hailed the movie saying that it portrays “how the brutal burning of passengers of the Sabarmati Express was turned into a political minefield by a vested interest group”. “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,” PM Modi’s post read.

Reacting to the PM’s post, Massey sent out a post on Instagram, thanking him for his “positive words”.

“Your appreciation of The Sabarmati Report proves that we are in the right direction. Thank you for all this love and support! History is witness to this, whether it is a country or a person, one recovers only after falling. No matter how long the period of lies lasts, only the truth can change it,” his post read.
