    Srinagar,19-Mar;“National Conference and PDP are in perpetual habit throughout to advance a false narrative regarding the Kashmir situation to mislead the public opinion. This time their statements in respect of the film, The Kashmir Files, are a testimony of the same fact. Their denials regarding the gory events of 1989-90 in Kashmir and falsification of historical facts can’t hide the truth from the world for a long time now”, said Ashwani Kumar Chrungoo, Senior BJP & KP leader, Incharge: Deptt of Political Feedback, BJP-J&K. Chrungoo was reacting to the statements made by the NC leader Omar Abdullah and PDP leader Mehbooba Mufti in regard to the film which is based upon historical facts that led to genocide and exile of Kashmiri Pandits. The film has highlighted the failure of the political leadership, administration of the state and also of the government of India in a befitting manner. The argument that the Kashmiri Pandits had not been subjected to genocide in Kashmir has been since defeated. There existed always an intent to ethnically cleanse Kashmir of Kashmiri Pandits which has been well depicted in the film. The issue of their genocide brew up in February 1986 when 40 temples were burnt and razed to the ground in the Kashmir valley along with their properties. At that point of time there was the government of Gh. Mohd Shah supported by Congress in J&K. Those who were later arrested by the administration for these heinous crimes included a large number of Congress workers in the valley. The Congress government at the Centre was compelled to withdraw the support to the government and declare Governor’s rule in the state, Chrungoo explained. Thereafter when the situation worsened as the NC and Congress alliance took over after the elections in 1987 in J&K, reports after reports were dispatched by the then Governor of the state, Jagmohan, the Congress appointee, to the Central government. The Central government headed by Rajiv Gandhi as the Prime Minister failed to take cognizance of such reports and an appropriate action thereupon. When the state government headed by Farooq Abdullah released 77 dreaded terrorists who were trained in POJK and arrested by the JKP, it worked as a big boost in favor of radicalism and terrorism in Kashmir valley.He added that “the killings of Kashmiri Pandits started in 1987 and continued up to January 1990 when Farooq Abdullah abdicated his responsibilities as the Chief Minister and made an exodus to London. In fact it was he who led Kashmiri Pandits to mass exodus consequent upon
