“Could Be Conspiracy Of Terrorists”: Jitan Ram Manjhi On ‘The Kashmir Files’

Key NDA alliance partner and former Chief Minister of Bihar Jitan Ram Manjhi, a day after the state government made the movie ‘The Kashmir Files’ tax-free in the state, alleged that the film made on the exodus of Kashmiri pandits in the late 1980s could be a “conspiracy of the terror organisations to instil a sense of fear in the Kashmiri Pandits so that they do not return to the Kashmir.”

Manjhi, insinuating a link between terror organisations and the makers of the film, wrote on Twitter: “The Kashmir Files could also be a deep conspiracy of terrorists who could be trying to create an atmosphere of fear in Kashmiri Brahmins so that they cannot go to Kashmir again”.

There could be “a possible connection between terrorist organisations and the makers of the film,” which includes director Vivek Agnihotri, Manjhi added. The former CM also demanded that the entire unit of “The Kashmir Files” and their possible terror connection should also be probed.

The BJP and its leaders, meanwhile, have been hailing the film while saying that the film showcased the plight of Kashmiri Pandits.

Even Prime Minister Narendra Modi, heaping praise on the film director Vivek Agnihotri, said more such films should be made on Kashmir to make people aware.
