The movie based on the tortures inflicted on Kashmiri Pundits and their families in 1990 compelling them to leave Kashmir valley in a huff in extremely critical situation by terrorists is being watched with immense curiosity especially by Kashmiri Pandit families settled in and outside Kashmir appreciating the movie to the core for the factual depiction of the happenings during 1990 leading to mass forced and traumatic exodus of Kashmiri Pundits to various parts of the country seeking refuge in refugee camps leading an extremely cumbersome n tortuous lives in distress for several months n years before being settled.
The watchers of the movie literally wept n even cried in pain inside theatres on watching their plights on screen reminiscent of the 1990 mass exodus of Kashmiri Pundits to various parts of the country and the tragic deaths of hundreds of inhabitants. Having collected Rs 27.15 crores in just three days after the release of Kashmir Files in over 640 theatres, the movie has been made tax free in majority of the BJP ruled states viz Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Karnataka, Haryana, Goa, Tripura. In Bihar, Rajasthan and Maharashtra demands have been made to make the movie tax free. In Delhi too the Bhartiya Janata Party has demanded from AAP government to make “The Kashmir Files movie”, tax free.
Meanwhile prime minister Narendra Modi while addressing the BJP parliamentary committee meeting has lauded the movie “Kashmir Files”, to the core for explicitly exhibiting the true picture of the plight of Kashmiri Pundits in 1990 leading to their mass exodus to various parts of the country after being tortured by terrorists.
He catagorically said that there had been attempts to conceal the truths for a very long time and therefore films like Kashmir Files depicting the true picture of the plight of suffering Kashmir citizens should be brought to the fore.
Pictures like Kashmir files need to be brought to the fore to know the truth bringing them before the people of the country. He added that the truth should be exposed at all costs and “Kashmir files”, movie has proved it, beyond doubt. Those who have objections to it may come out with another movie, but gagging the truth for three decades is not correct. Prime minister said we talk of Nelson Mandela, Mahatma Gandhi n his good deeds. Till a film was not made n if made it was made by a foreign company making the entire humanity aware of his good n noble deeds of Mahatma Gandhi. No film was made to highlight the misrule during emergency nor the plight of Kashmiri Pundits ever highlighted, rather concealed for three decades. Now the Kashmir Files have been made to expose the mis happenings of 1990.
The truth must be exposed said prime minister Narendra Modi accusing the so called intellectuals talking of freedom of expression trying to find fault with Kashmir Files movie highlighting the genuine plight of the suffering Kashmiries in 1990 he said. Prime minister also questioned : Has any movie been made on India’s partition?
The Bollywood actress tilted towards BJP and controversial for her vociferous remarks Kangana Ranaut has lauded Kashmir Files to the fullest saying that this outstanding movie has washed the sins of Bollywood as all those involved in the making and success of the movie have cumulatively washed Bollywood sins by bringing out such a remarkable film.
Meanwhile the chief spokesman of Congress Randeep Singh Surjewala posted several tweets criticizing the government but in one of his tweets annexing the vidio of prime minister mentioned in hindi :
Should the PM of the country leave everything like ideals of Bapu and plight of Kashmiri Pundits to the films? When will the government feel it’s responsibilities, not facing the real issues and truths. After all till when will they continue to find political mileage on acount of spreading hatred and division tweeted Randeep Singh Surjewala.
According to another tweet Surjewala wrote : Modiji should tell, when in 1990 the Kashmiri Pundits were compelled to migrate under the shadow of torture and terror, then BJP had 85 MPs on whose support the V. P. Singh government was ruling at the centre. What were they doing then ? Why were the Pundits provoked for exodus by the Governor appointed by the government, supported by them at the centre tweeted Congress spokesman Surjewala.
Kindly recall that in 1990 when the mass exodus of Kashmiri Pundits took place due to their extreme torture by terrorists, the National Conference was ruling the state with Dr. Farooq Abdullah being its CM and at centra was VP Singh government ruling with Jagmohan, the BJP man, the then governor of Jammu and Kashmir.
