Netizens on social media are continuously trending #BanGrahanWebSeries and are demanding to ban the series from the makers.

Earlier , Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) president Bibi Jagir Kaur on Monday demanded an immediate ban on Grahan, a web series based on the incidents of 1984 anti-Sikh riots. Addressing the press conference on Monday, Kaur said, “A Sikh character has been portrayed in an objectionable manner in a web series called ‘Grahan’ based on the 1984 Sikh genocide. In the web series, the charge of Sikh genocide is being leveled against a Sikh character which is highly condemnable and fabricated.”

Along with this, some people are also campaigning against author Satya Vyas.
