Early Times Report

Jammu, Mar 11: KPC questioned for having asked the migrant Kashmiri Pandits to act for "paltry sum" as extras for an upcoming Bollywood film being shot here, as advertised by the Commissioner (Migrant) Relief and Rehabilitation, Jammu, vide a formal government order issued vide number RRCM/DCR/2017-18/1058), asked Kashmiri Pandits residing in migrant camps at Jammu to act in the shooting of upcoming movie produced by Vidhu Vinod Chopra Productions. The government has asked the migrant Pandits, scheduled to be paid Rs 850 per day, to submit application forms to 'camp commandants' by March 17, 2018. The Pandit community believes that government by offering them to work as "extras against peanuts" in the movie has hurt sentiments of the migrants. Kundan Kashmiri president KPC said that there are many apparent flaws in the order. Whereas "extras" who work in movies in Mumbai are paid around Rs 4000 per day, the government of Jammu and Kashmir has fixed "meager" rate for migrant Pandits. The bigger question, however, is how can state government act like a "recruitment agency" for a Bollywood movie. The KPC Chief Kundan Kashmiri has sought a probe into the alleged link between the government and the Bollywood for "exploiting and insulting migrant Pandit community and and wanted to know the theme of the film as well as purpose of it to shoot it im KP migrant camps.
