Noted Indian screenwriter and director in Hindi films and television, Saeed Akhtar Mirza has called The Kashmir Files ‘garbage’.
In an interview with an Indian English newspaper, The Indian Express, Mirza said that the ‘point is not to take sides’ and added that it is necessary to ‘try to understand’ the issues.
“For me, The Kashmir Files is garbage. Is the Kashmiri Pandit issue garbage? … is it just Kashmiri Hindus? No. Muslims, too, are caught in an incredibly vulgar trap of the machinations of intelligence agencies, nations with so-called national interests… The point is not to take sides. Be human and try to understand,” he said.
