Amid the ongoing controversy over the film, AIUDF chief Badruddin Ajmal said that the Government of Assam and the Central Government must ban the film in order to avoid communal tensions.
All India United Democratic Front (AIUDF) chief Badruddin Ajmal has demanded a ban on the recently released film "The Kashmir Files" fearing it will propagate communal feelings among people.
Written and directed by Vivek Agnihotri, the movie is based on the exodus of Kashmiri Pandits from the Valley in the 1990s. It stars Anupam Kher, Darshan Kumar, Mithun Chakraborty and Pallavi Joshi among others.
Amid the ongoing controversy over the film, the Dhubri MP said that the Government of Assam and the Central Government must ban the film in order to avoid communal tensions.
Talking to media persons, Mr Ajmal said, "I have not seen the movie. RSS and BJP have come out with flags and are giving 'gaali' to Muslims. The movie has to be banned. A lot of incidents happened after Kashmir, even Nellie massacre of 1983 that happened in Assam."
