Syed Tufail Hasan, the Samajwadi Party MP from Moradabad, has demanded a ban on the film 'The Kashmir Files’.
He said this film was creating hatred between two religions, which could have an adverse impact on the social harmony in the country.
The Samajwadi Party MP also said that the film did not depict anything close to the ground reality and there were incidents of fist fights among the people in the theatres after watching the film.
He said there was ample ground for banning the film.
Hasan said that if ‘The Kashmir Files’ was not banned, then films should be made which showed all the incidents of major communal riots in the country. He said films like ‘Gujarat Files’, ‘Moradabad Files’, and ‘Bhagalpur Files’ would start being made and they would also have to be allowed by the Censor Board.
The Samajwadi Party MP said everyone shared the pain and anguish suffered by the Kashmiri Hindus and it was indeed painful to be a refugee in one's homeland.
The MP from Moradabad asked if the cycle of hatred between the two big communities started, where would India go? He said such films would add to widening the trust deficit between the two communities.
He demanded that the government ensure the rehabilitation of the Kashmiri Hindus at the earliest in the Kashmir valley.
