Remarking that the situation in Kashmir was getting out of hand with the rise in killings of Kashmiri Pandits and attacks on the Hindu community, Shiv Sena MP Sanjay Raut on Sunday lashed out at the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) government at the Centre for busily promoting films rather than heeding to the plight of the Valley’s Kashmiri Pandits.
The Nationalist Congress Party (NCP) – the Sena’s ally in Maharashtra – too, hit out at the BJP-ruled Centre for not making “concrete efforts to rehabilitate Kashmiri Pandits in their homeland.”
“Kashmir is burning once again. It is red with blood. The situation there is getting out of hand, but New Delhi’s prominent leaders are busy promoting films, be it The Kashmir Files or Samrat Prithviraj. Is this the government’s job? Why aren’t they listening to the anger of the Kashmiri Pandits,” asked Mr. Raut.
