Questioning Narendra Modi government's silence over the 'Padmavati' film controversy, the Congress on Friday said the Information and Broadcasting Ministry must resolve the issue by talking to both the sides.

"There has been a huge controversy surrounding the the film Padmavati. The government must find a way to resolve the issue," said Congress spokesperson Rajeev Shukla.

He also said it was the responsibility of the censor board and the Information and Broadcasting Ministry to find a solution to the matter.

"If the sentiments of a particular community are being hurt, proper measures should be taken to ensure an amicable resolution on the issue," said Shukla.
