Kulgam: National Conference working-president and the former chief minister of JK Omar Abdullah on Friday termed the film—The Kashmir Files, as a concocted story stating that “many lies have been projected in the movie” and that it wasn’t NC government in 1990 but governor’s rule under VP Singh’s regime.
Talking to reporters on the sidelines of a rally in Kulgam district of south Kashmir, Omar said firstly, it wasn’t clear whether the movie was a documentary or a film.
“The makers of the film claim that the movie is based on reality but the fact is that many lies have been projected in it,” he said, adding, “the biggest one is that it has been wrongly shown that there was National Conference government at that time,” Omar said.
“The fact is that it was Governor’s rule in 1990 in JK when Kashmiri Pandit’s left Kashmir. At the Centre it was BJP backed government headed by VP Singh,” Omar added.
He said that not just KPs have migrated and have been killed in Kashmir but Muslims and Sikhs too were killed.
“Muslims and Sikhs have also migrated from Kashmir who haven’t returned yet,” Omar said.
He said it was regrettable that KPs migrated from Kashmir but NC tried and continues to play its part to bring the KP’s back safely.
“But Kashmir Files movie has spoiled such plans,” the former Chief Minister said.
On the recent visit of BJP chief JP Nadda and the Home Minister of India Amit Shah’s visit to Jammu, Omar said that NC was watching the developments keenly and would act accordingly. (KNO)
