Prime Minister of India Narendra Modi has commented on the March 11 release of The Kashmir Files movie. Speaking at the BJP Parliamentary Committee meeting here today, Prime Minister Narendra Modi spoke in detail about the film.
In his speech, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said, “It is unfortunate that the film industry, like books, poetry and literature, has not played as important a role in publishing the history of our country in the right perspective in society at the right time. If at that time we had dared to make a film about the life of Mahatma Gandhi and put it in front of the world, this situation could have been avoided. ”
Modi said that when the first foreigner photographed Mahatma Gandhi and won awards, the world knew how great Mahatma Gandhi was.
“Many are talking about freedom of expression but Prime Minister Modi jokingly said that he could not take a picture of the emergency, adding that this was not possible due to continued attempts to cover up the truth. How can the country forget all this when we have so many lessons to learn? ”
“Has any film ever been made keeping in view the reality of Indian partition? But you know that there has been a great deal of discussion about the new film ‘The Kashmir Files’ which has just come out. They are campaigning against it. ”
In his speech on the various criticisms leveled against the film, Prime Minister Modi, one by one, dared to reveal the self-evident truth and tried to present it. But he said that no one understood that fact and was not ready to accept it and were maneuvering to oppose it in the hope of not letting the world know about it.
He added, “I am not talking about any film. My view is that putting the truth before the country as it is is important for the good of the country. There may be many aspects to this. Everyone can look at every aspect. , They are shocked that they have been brought out on the basis of facts. So they are making every effort against it. ” said.
“In times like these, those who live for the truth have a responsibility to give a voice to the truth. I hope everyone will fulfill this responsibility,” Modi said.
Kashmir Details about
Many books and films have been made about Kashmir. Some of these have been centered on the expulsion of Kashmiri Pandits. Journalist Rahul Pandita said, ‘The reason for the strong reaction to the film’ The Kashmir Files’ is that the Pandit community has always felt that their history is hidden. I would call it an emotional upheaval. “
But there are those who say that violence against anti-left ideologies in India, the Dalits, the Northeastern states and in India is often rare in films.

Kashmiri Pandit Sanjay Gogh is also a documentary filmmaker.
Commenting on this, he said, “I am amazed that people say that this story has not been told yet. It is true that Bollywood does not do this story, but Bollywood does not film such stories. There are thousands of stories like this in this country that have not been featured in major films. ” Says.
Congress leader Randeep Singh Surjewala retweeted Prime Minister Modi’s speech, saying, “Where did this ‘freedom of expression’ go when the peasants and job-seeking youth of this country were persecuted for demanding their rights?” That begs the question.
The film director’s film with Modi also went viral

Re-tweeting Abhishek’s tweet, Vivek Agnihotri said, “Abhishek, I am very happy to have the courage to reveal India’s most challenging truth. The screening of The Kashmir Files in the US reveals a change of heart in the world under the leadership of Narendra Modi.”
This photo went viral and sparked many criticisms. In some, Vivek Agnihotri was praised for the film. At the same time, some are urging people to stay out of politics.
Director Vivek Agnihotri What was said?
Many controversies have arisen regarding the film. Some accuse the film of not getting proper publicity, but the director of the film said, “I would have asked myself if the film needed publicity. But I did not do it because it was not needed. People asked me why I did not do it. I believe the heart of the people for Kashmir is beating because they have done so many different things in the name of Kashmir, so many different kinds of pictures and so on. “
“I believed that the main character of this film was Kashmir. I felt that Kashmir would fill the hearts of those who think day and night about reclaiming Kashmir. It does not matter which top star is playing in the film,” he explains.
