The West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee wades into the Kashmir debate; calls the movie a ‘conspiracy’. “The movie is mostly fiction and it is all planned”, Mamata Banerjee’s said in a veiled attack on BJP.
Meanwhile the Chhattisgarh Chief Minister Bhupesh Baghel on Wednesday said that the film ‘The Kashmir Files’ shows half-truths and added that not only Hindus, but Buddhists, Muslims, Sikhs were also murdered in Kashmir.
“I watched ‘The Kashmir Files’, the film is made on the terrorist incidents that happened in Kashmir. The entire film is focused on only one family but in the end, the main hero emphasized that not only Hindus, the people of different religions including Buddhists, Muslims, Sikhs were also murdered. But this film has been made to send only one political message that only Kashmiri Pandits were displaced,” said the Chief Minister after watching the film.
“Half-truth is shown in the film. It is not appropriate to show one side in the film. If they (BJP-led central government) want to do politics through this and doing preparations for 2024 Lok Sabha polls, then they are taking the country in a very wrong direction,” said Mr Baghel.
He further said that even today the problem of Kashmiri Pandits has not been solved and no attempts have been made for their resettlement.
