Muttahida Majalis-E-Amal is a combined group of religious and social organizations of Muslims, madarsas, schools, colleges, and other organizations in the Saharanpur district. A press conference was held at a school in Anand Nagar on the 28thof March. The Maulanas called the release of the film Kashmir Files unfortunate and termed it ‘laughable politics’.

Spokesperson Sher Shah Alam said that through the film The Kashmir Files, an attempt is being made to disturb communal harmony under a conspiracy. It is unfortunate that attempts are being made to end the mutual brotherhood. Others addressing the press conference included Maulana Abdul Malik Mukesi who is district president of the Milli Council and Maulana Shahid Mazahiri who is a member of Jamiat Ulama Uttar Pradesh.

Sher Shah Azam said, “This press conference has been held about the film The Kashmir Files. The movie is creating hatred within the country. This film should be banned immediately. The government here says that the reality should come out, then there are so many realities here. What is the use of re-picking up old forgotten memories, making fabricated stories, and leaving them in the midst of the people? People will hate each other and when there is hatred there will be fights, mob lynchings.”

It was further said in the press conference, “In this film, all the historical facts are being twisted. Here they want to impose a particular point of view on people. This is not the way to maintain peace and harmony. We want people inside the country not to be misled and not to hate each other. Rather, adopt the thousands of years old ‘tehzeeb’ that symbolizes mutual brotherhood.”

The Kashmir Files controversies continue as the RJD, CPI(ML) MLAs tear ‘Kashmir Files’ tickets inside Bihar Assembly. CPI(ML) MLA Mehboob Alam said later, “Kashmir Files tickets symbolize hatred as the film vilifies Muslims. We will not allow anyone to vitiate communal harmony in Bihar.” At the same time, the Congress MLAs did not accept the tickets made available by the BJP at the Vidhan Sabha reception. Chief Minister Nitish Kumar was present in the House when the tickets were torn.

RJD spokesperson Mrityunjay Tewari said, “Why does the government not show us films on unemployment and issues of common people’s interest? They want to further their communal agenda by showcasing a film like ‘Kashmir Files.’ We criticize CM Nitish Kumar for falling into the BJP trap.”

BJP spokesperson Santosh Pathak however said, “The film has shown bare facts of Kashmir. RJD, CPI (ML), and Congress do not want to see the truth because these parties have done politics of forming governments, not building the nation. We condemn the behavior of legislators who tore the film tickets in the Assembly. If they wanted to show opposition, they would not have accepted the film tickets.”

The Kashmir Files Controversies – The Director

Meanwhile, a police report has been filed against the director of the Kashmir Files, Vivek Agnihotri. This was due to the remarks he said in an interview that Bhopalis are often assumed to be homosexual.

A 27-year-old PR manager named Rohit Pandey filed the report at Versova police station in Mumbai. The complainant hails from Bhopal in Madhya Pradesh and has sought the registration of an urgent FIR in the matter.

The Kashmir Files director came under fire for his comment after the clip of the interview went viral. He said in the interview, “I am from Bhopal, but I do not call myself a Bhopali because that carries a certain connotation. If someone calls himself a Bhopali, it generally means that person is a homosexual.. someone with ‘nawabi ‘fantasies.
