Srinagar, March 19

The National Conference (NC) on Friday broke its silence on ‘The Kashmir Files’ saying while the exodus of Kashmiri Pandits was a stain on Kashmiriyat, the movie was “far from the truth as the filmmakers had ignored the sacrifices of the Muslims and Sikhs” who had also suffered from militancy.

NC vice president Omar Abdullah said that if ‘The Kashmir Files’ was a commercial movie, no one had an issue, but if the filmmakers claim that it is based on reality, then the facts are the other way round.

Meanwhile, CPM leader MY Tarigami said the migration of Kashmiri Pandits was a tragic chapter of Kashmir’s history, but showcasing bloodshed for “political gains” was dangerous for the country and the people. “It is our misfortune that Kashmir has been for the last so many decades continuously going through a tragic situation,” he said. —

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
