Is, Banning of film ‘Muhammad’ but ignoring the demand for tax-free ‘The Kashmir Files’, ‘Nationalism’? – HJS

The statement made by Maharashtra Home Minister Dilip Walse-Patil while speaking in the legislature regarding tax exemption for the film ‘The Kashmir Files’ is an expression of insensitivity towards Hindus. It is unfortunate that the Home Minister of the State did not know whether the hugely popular film ‘The Kashmir Files’ is about the displacement of Kashmiri Hindus in 1990 or the partition of India in 1947. It does not behove a person who is the Home Minister to say as if the displacement of Sikhs and Hindus in Pakistan at the time of partition in 1947 was just an exchange of population from here to there.

It is noteworthy that former NCP Home Minister Anil Deshmukh, who is in jail had, in July 2020 banned the Iranian film ‘Muhammad: The Messenger of God’ in Maharashtra on the insistence of Raza Academy, which is a known rioter. The Home Ministry of the ‘Nationalist’ Congress Party (NCP), which immediately banned the film ‘Muhammad’ without even watching the film at the behest of an organisation ignores the demand for tax exemption for the film ‘The Kashmir Files’, which exposes the atrocities perpetrated on Kashmiri Hindus by Pakistan-sponsored terrorists and committed the genocide of the Hindu community. Therefore, the question arises as to what is the ‘Nationalism’ of the NCP ?
