Bengaluru: Karnataka Speaker Vishveshwara Hegde Kageri has arranged a special show of ‘The Kashmir Files’ movie for the ministers and legislators in the state.
Speaker Kageri announced in the House on Monday March 14 that the special show has been organised on Tuesday (March 15) at the Mantri Mall at 6.45 p.m. in Bengaluru.
The special screening has been arranged from the secretariat of the Legislative Assembly. Speaker Kageri has congratulated Chief Minister Basavaraj Bommai for making the movie tax free.
Bommai who watched the movie in the multiplex in Bengaluru on Sunday showered praises on the film makers.
“Kudos to Vivek Agnihotri for ‘The Kashmir Files’, a blood-curdling, poignant and honest narrative of the exodus of Kashmiri Pandits from their home land. To lend our support to the movie and encourage our people to watch it, we will make the movie tax-free in Karnataka,” he announced.
After watching the movie, the Chief Minister said, “the movie shows the magnitude of attacks on the Kashmiri Pandits. Many have lost their lives at the hands of terrorists. Prime Minister Narendra Modi has abrogated Article 370 for the same reason. I thank PM Modi for the same and I urge every Indian to watch this movie,” he said.
‘The Kashmir Files’ movie has received warm response from the audiences in the state like all over the country. It remains to be seen how Congress legislators respond to the decision of the Speaker to host a special screening of the movie.
