MEA clarifies it has no role in Salman Khan’s upcoming film 'Battle of Galwan'

Ahead of the release of Salman Khan‘s movie “Battle of Galwan” — based on the 2020 clash between Indian and Chinese troops in the Galwan Valley — the Ministry of External Affairs on Friday said issues regarding film-making in India are looked after by “relevant authorities”, and the MEA has “no role” in this or such ventures.

At his weekly media briefing, External Affairs Ministry Spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal said this in response to a query from a reporter.

Produced by Salman Khan and his



mother Salma Khan, “Battle of Galwan” releases on April 17.

Jaiswal was asked to comment on some reports claiming that the MEA has ‘raised objections’ to the film depicting the clash between Indian and Chinese troops in the Galwan Valley six years ago.

“We understand that a film of this nature is being planned. Issues regarding film-making in India, as you are well aware, are looked after by relevant authorities. And as far as we are concerned, MEA has no role in this or such ventures,” he said.
