New Delhi: Union Minister Giriraj Singh was left teary-eyed after watching the recently released film ‘The Kashmir Files’, which revolved around the exodus of Kashmiri Pandits from the Valley in the 1990s.
“Had it not been for this movie, people would not have come across the truth…” the Union Minister said after he left the theatre.
Lauding the film, he said that it should be shown in villages across the country as well.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi, at a BJP Parliamentary Party meeting on Tuesday, expressed his support for the film against attempts, he claimed were being made to discredit it. Bringing out the truth in the right manner, said the PM is always in favour of the nation.
यह फ़िल्म नहीं होती तो देश सच को नहीं जान पाता। अख़बारों में पढ़ा था। ऐसा भी नहीं कि हम 90 के दशक में बच्चे थे। कश्मीर में जो हुआ है। जिन्होंने यह फ़िल्म बनाई है, उसे गांव-गावं में दिखाया जाना चाहिए: फ़िल्म ‘द कश्मीर फाइल्स’ देखने के बाद केंद्रीय मंत्री गिरिराज सिंह pic.twitter.com/rOQk37XEzs
