Viewers are very fond of the film ‘The Kashmir Files’, which depicts the atrocities on Pandits in Kashmir in 1990. It has also been praised by PM Modi. Union Minister Giriraj Singh also watched the film on Tuesday night and got emotional after leaving the theatre. He said that this film should be shown in village-village.
Giriraj Singh has said that this film shakes the soul. He said, “If it was not for this film, the country would not have known the truth, read in the newspapers. It is not that we were children in the 90’s, but the situation in the country, what has happened in Kashmir and the manner in which many fundamentalist issues like hijab in the country, I say this film should be shown in village-village. The situation in the country will not be less than Kashmir.
When Giriraj Singh came out after watching the film, there were tears in his eyes. He was very emotional and interacted with the journalists. Significantly, The Kashmir Files shows how Pandits in Kashmir were forced to convert, flee and those who denied it were murdered. In such a situation, thousands of Kashmiri families had to migrate from Kashmir.
