There was a lot of controversy in the country regarding the film ‘The Kashmir Files’. Some people had accused this film of spreading hatred and demanded a ban on this film. Now the film has also been stopped in Singapore. After the ban on the film The Kashmir Files in Singapore, now the statement of director Vivek Agnihotri has come to the fore.
Vivek Agnihotri was asked the question that your film has been banned in Singapore, what would you like to say on this? On this Vivek Agnihotri said that ‘This film has not been banned anywhere. Singapore is the most censored society. There the government decides what will happen. If most movies are banned anywhere in the world, then it is Singapore. There LGBT movies get banned.
Vivek Agnihotri said, “Maybe even the Bollywood film ‘Badhaai Do’ has been banned. Homosexual, antiterrorism movies are also banned there. There he likes to watch romantic, light movies. Don’t know why, but it is wrong. This film has not been banned but they have their own certification process. Films are released on the basis of that.
Congress leader Shashi Tharoor took a jibe at the film’s ban in Singapore and wrote, “The film which was being promoted by the ruling party of India has been banned in Singapore.” In response, Vivek Agnihotri wrote that “Dear Shashi Tharoor, for your information, let me tell you that Singapore is the world’s most retrograde censor. It also banned ‘The Last Temptations of Jesus Christ’ (ask your madam). Even a romantic film ‘The Leela Hotel Files’ was banned. Stop making fun of Kashmiri Hindu genocide.
Actor Anupam Kher was also furious over Shashi Tharoor’s tweet. Anupam Kher wrote on Twitter that ‘Dear Shashi Tharoor! Your indifference towards the massacre of Kashmiri Hindus is sad. If nothing else, at least for the sake of Sunanda, herself a Kashmiri. You should show some sensitivity towards Kashmiri Pandits and not feel victorious about the country banning The Kashmir Files!’
