The film, which focuses on the exodus of Kashmiri Pandits from the Valley in the 1990s, has been mired in controversy since its release on March 11 with the BJP and Opposition parties having conflicting views on it. At a BJP Parliamentary Party meeting on Tuesday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi expressed his support for the recently released film The Kashmir Files against attempts, which he claimed were being made to discredit it. The film has been declared tax-free in several states including Uttar Pradesh, Tripura, Goa, Haryana, Gujarat, and Uttarakhand.
Meanwhile, The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) has decided to accord 'Y' category of CRPF security cover to Vivek Agnihotri all over the country. The MHA's decision came after the security threat assessment of Agnihotri by Intelligence and other security agencies. Under the 'Y' category, Agnihotri will get eight CRPF personnel, including one or two commandos, besides police personnel.
