The Tamil Nadu Youth Congress has called for a ban on actor Sivakarthikeyan's recently released film, Parasakthi, alleging that it contains distortions of historical events involving the Congress.

Parasakthi, centred on the 1960s student revolution and anti-Hindi protests, was released in theatres on January 10. 

The movie received 25 cuts from the censor board with certain scenes being labelled as fictional.

He claimed the film falsely suggests that only Hindi was permitted in post office forms and that it was a “complete fabrication” aimed at tarnishing the Congress.
