Omar Abdullah said that if 'The Kashmir Files' was a commercial movie, no one would have had an issue, but if the film makers claim that it is based on reality, then the facts are the other way round.
The National Conference on Friday broke its silence on 'The Kashmir Files' saying while the exodus of Kashmiri Pandits was a "stain on Kashmiriyat", the movie was far from the truth as the film makers have ignored the sacrifices of the Muslims and Sikhs who had also suffered from terrorism.
Vice President of the party and former chief minister of Jammu and Kashmir Omar Abdullah said that if 'The Kashmir Files' was a commercial movie, no one would have had an issue, but if the film makers claim that it is based on reality, then the facts are the other way round.
"When the unfortunate incident of Kashmiri Pandit migration took place, Farooq Abdullah was not the chief minister. Jagmohan was the governor. It was VP Singh's government at the Centre which was supported by the BJP from outside," Mr Abdullah told reporters in Damal Hanji Pora of Kulgam district of South Kashmir.
Mr Abdullah wondered why this fact was kept away from the movie.
