After Indian Air Force, NCW Asks ‘Gunjan Saxena’ Makers to Apologise and Discontinue Its Screening

Reacting to Saxena’s comment, Rekha tweeted, “If that is so, the film maker must apologise and discontinue the screening. Why showing something which is portraying our own forces in bad light especially when it’s not true.”

According to a senior official, the letter mentioned “concerns related to the movie’s portrayal of gender bias as an institutional work culture” at the IAF.

In a statement, Saxena, who became the first woman pilot to take part in the 1999 Kargil war, said there are different kind of individuals who make up the environment in an organisation.

“Whenever you are in any kind of environment, there are different kinds of individuals that make up that environment so when there is a major change happening, some of these individuals are ready to accept this change more readily than the others and some take more time to adjust to this change.
