Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi responds to the March 11 release of #TheKashmirFiles.The Prime Minister spoke in great detail about the film at the BJP Parliamentary Board meeting on Tuesday.“History must be put before society in the right perspective, at the right time.In this order, books, poetry and literature are of paramount importance as well as cinema,” he said.“The same thing happened to Mahatma Gandhi after independence.The whole world talked about Martin Luther, talked about Nelson Mandela.But, this world talked very little about Mahatma Gandhi.”
A lot of people talk about Freedom of Expression.But, you see, no film is made on Emergency because there is always an attempt to suppress the truth.If we remember the partition of India on August 14 as a Horror Day, it has become a big problem for many,” he said sarcastically.
The Prime Minister also responded to various criticisms coming on the film.“If someone dares to bring a fact to light, if he tries to present what seems to him to be the truth, no one is ready to know and accept that truth.Moreover, the world is being prevented from seeing it.The conspiracy in this matter has been going on for six days.” The reactions on the Kashmir files are so intense that Kashmiri Pandits always seem to be suppressing their story.I think this is an ’emotional catharsis’, an emotional expression,” said journalist Rahul Pandita.
He said that the rest of India knew very little about Kashmir at that time.But some say that violence against Dalits, people in the north-eastern states, and left-wing ideologues in India is rarely portrayed in mainstream cinema.
