TIL Desk/National/New Delhi/ Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Thursday said the Bharatiya Janata Party MLAs demanding The Kashmir Files be made tax-free in Delhi should upload the movie on YouTube and make it free for all. During his address in the Delhi assembly, Kejriwal also accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi of using the movie for political gains.
Hitting back, Delhi BJP president Adesh Gupta said that Kejriwal, by his remarks over the issue, has crossed all limits of political decency. The movie, based on the exodus of Kashmiri Pandits from the Kashmir Valley due to terrorism, has kicked up a political storm. It is being actively pushed by BJP-ruled states by either offering tax concessions or giving government employees special leave to watch it.
The Opposition has, however, termed the film one-sided and too violent. Kejriwal said the BJP leaders were demanding to make The Kashmir Files movie tax-free when Lieutenant Governor Anil Baijal was speaking in the House on Wednesday. “They (BJP) are demanding that the movie be declared tax-free in Delhi. Upload it on YouTube, the movie will become free and everyone will be able to watch it,” he said in the assembly.
