| Pay tax to watch Kashmir Files in J&K | | Admin pays no heed towards local BJP leader’s appeal to make movie tax free | | Early Times Report
Jammu, Mar 24: Filmmaker Vivek Agnihotri's ‘The Kashmir Files’ has been declared tax-free in several states, all of which are ruled by the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). But the movie hasn’t been made tax free in J&K till date, despite depicting the pain on the people of this land.
The film, which is based on the exodus of Kashmiri Pandits from Jammu and Kashmir in the 1990s, hit the theatres on March 11 and left the viewers in tears.
It depicts the pain and agony of Kashmiri Pandit community that was forced to migrate from the Valley by the Pakistan sponsored terrorists in 1990.
Many states, including Uttar Pradesh, Goa, Harayana, Karnataka, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh, Tripura, Goa and Uttarakhand made it tax free but it’s yet to be made tax free in Jammu and Kashmir.
Senior BJP leader Vikram Randhawa, recently made an appeal to J&K Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha to make the movie tax free. But it seems that the LG administration is in no mood to concede to his request.
There are many voices in J&K which are demanding that Kashmir Files should be made tax free in the Union Territory. It’s for the first time in the past three decades that someone from Bollywood has made a film depicting the pain of a community which had to leave everything behind to save its honour and lives.
People are saying that if other states can make the Kashmir Files tax free why the J&K Government can’t do it. “It seems that the LG admin doesn’t even listen to the local BJP leaders.” |
