The recently-released film The Kashmir Files depicting the exodus of Kashmiri Pandits during the Jammu & Kashmir Insurgency during 1990 is not the full story, Communist Party of India (Marxist) politburo member Brinda Karat said on Tuesday.
“No doubt, the Kashmiri Pandits faced the most difficult time, but the reign of terror was against anyone and everyone who opposed terrorists. Many Muslims were killed, including the former Assebmly speaker, many MLAs and CPI (M)’s Yosuf Tarigami and his relatives. The attack was on Kashmiriyat,” she said.
The former MP was in Nalgonda to pay her respects to veteran Communist leader Mallu Swarajyam who passed away last week. She met the bereaved family members, and garlanded Ms. Swarajyam’s portrait at the district party office.
