New Delhi: Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal with Deputy Chief Minister Manish Sisodia addresses the media after presenting the State Budget 2022-23 in the Assembly, in New Delhi, Saturday, March 26, 2022.
Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) national convener and Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Saturday attacked the BJP for “playing politics” over the exodus of Kashmiri Pandits, asking how many of them the party was able to relocate to the Valley. His statement has come amid the ongoing controversy over the Indian film ‘The Kashmir Files’. He had earlier asked the central government to upload the film on YouTube.
He reiterated the suggestion again on Saturday and said that the earnings so far should be spent on the welfare of Kashmiri Pandits. “Was even a single Kashmiri Pandit family shifted to the Valley by the BJP in the last 8 years?” Kejriwal asked BJP.
He said, ‘BJP is doing politics on this issue. We demand that the movie ‘The Kashmir Files’ be uploaded on YouTube. The money earned from this should be spent on the welfare of Kashmiri Pandits.”
The suggestion was first made by him on Thursday when during an assembly session he criticized the move to make the film tax-free and suggested the filmmaker to upload it on YouTube for free viewing for all. .
