TIL Desk/National/Mumbai/ Shiv Sena leader Sanjay Raut on Tuesday backed Nadav Lapid, International Film Festival of India (IFFI) jury head over his critisim of the film ‘The Kashmir Files’. “It’s true about Kashmir Files. There was propaganda by one party against another,” Raut told and alleged ‘maximum number of killings in Kashmir occurred after this film’.
“A party and goverment was busy with publicity… but maximum number of killings in Kashmir occurred after this film. Kashmir Pandits, security personnel were killed,” he added referring to the spate of murders in the Valley – largely targeting civilians and migrant workers – that began last year.
He also demanded to know why a ‘Kashmir Files 2.0’ was not made. “Where were these Kashmir Files people then? The children of Kashmiri Pandits were also agitating, where were they then? Nobody came forward then, nor were there plans for a Kashmir Files 2.0 – make that too,” he said.
