The film 'Kashmir Files' is in constant discussion nowadays, sometimes it’s about the success of the film and sometimes it’s about the issues raised by the opponents of the film. Now, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has sharply targeted his opponents by referring to the film The Kashmir Files in the BJP Parliamentary Board meeting today.
The Prime Minister said that the whole group carrying the flag of freedom of expression was shocked to see the movie. PM Modi said, “If someone at that time has dared to make a film on the life of Mahatma Gandhi and put it in front of the world, then everyone would have known about his struggle much earlier. A foreigner made a film on him and the movie received an Oscar, after that people came to know that he was a great man.”
“Some people talk about the freedom of speech. You may have noticed, Emergency is such a big event, no movie covered that incident. There was a constant attempt to suppress the truth. When we decided to commemorate the day of the partition of India on August 14 as the day of terror, many people got into big trouble. How can a country forget ... sometimes there is something to be learned from it. Was there an authentic film on the partition of India?” Modi added.

“Instead of assessing the film on the basis of facts and truth, a campaign is on to discredit it. The whole ecosystem opposes anyone who tries to show the truth,” he said. “They only try to project what they want to see as truth. The conspiracy for the last few days is to ensure that no one sees the truth. My issue is not about a film, but about bringing the truth in its correct form before the country,” he added.
