Addressing the BJP Parliamentary Party meeting before the start of the day’s proceedings in Parliament, PM Modi said that there are a lot of subjects like Emergency or Partition of 1975 on which no authentic film has been made.
“The film has shown the truth, which has been suppressed for years. Those who have a problem with what is being shown in the film should come out with their own version of the facts,” the prime minister said. The Prime Minister said, “The truth should be brought before the country in the right form. Truth prevailed in the Kashmir files.”
He said, “The Kashmir Files is a very good film. You all should watch it. People need to make more films like Gandhi and Kashmiri Files to know the truth.”
Recently, several BJP-ruled states exempted the film from entertainment tax, with some chief ministers also vehemently supporting the film. On Tuesday, the Uttar Pradesh government had also declared the film tax free.
