Srinagar: Former Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah on Friday called ‘The’ k files‘ A concoction and a bundle of lies.
Clarifying his stand on the issue, he said that one cannot tell whether it is a commercial film or a documentary. “If it was a documentary, it was fine, but the makers themselves have claimed that the film was based on reality. The fact is that the film has presented many lies and the biggest one is that it was shown in a wrong way. There was a NC government there.” “It was not the NC government [in J&K] In 1990, as shown in the so-called film, but under BJP-backed VP Singh’s rule, there was governor’s rule.”
He said that Kashmiri Pandits were not the only victims of terrorism at that time. “…we cannot forget the sacrifice of Muslims and Sikhs who were targeted with the same gun,” he said. “Many Muslims and Sikhs also left Kashmir and have not returned yet,” he said. He said the forced exodus of Kashmiri Pandits was regrettable, but his party National Conference has tried and continues to do its part in bringing them back safely. “But I don’t think the people who made this film want them (Kashmiri Pandits) to come back. They want Kashmiri Pandits to be out forever,” he said.
