Bihar government distributes free tickets of The Kashmir Files

The Bihar Assembly on Monday witnessed pandemonium, with Opposition MLAs tearing up tickets of The Kashmir Files , distributed free to them by the government.

Earlier, after making the film tax-free in the State, senior BJP leader and Deputy Chief Minister Tarkishore Prasad on March 17 had invited all legislators to watch the film made on the exodus of Kashmiri pandits from Kashmir in the 1990s.

Protesting against the movie, Opposition Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) and Communist Party of India (Marxist-Leninist) MLAs trooped into the well of the House and tore up the tickets of the film, while Speaker Vijay Kumar Sinha kept urging them to take their seats and make any comment on it after watching the movie.
