Bollywood director Vivek Agnihotri on Wednesday reacted to the International Film Festival of India (IFFI) jury head Nadav Lapid’s comment that `The Kashmir Files` had fascist features. Taking to Twitter, Vivek wrote, “What is common between these? “India is a FASCIST country” “Modi is FASCIST” “BJP is fascist” “Hindu right-wing is FASCIST” “Abrogation of Art 370 a FASCIST decision” “Kashmir is occupied by FASCIST Indian regime” “#TheKashmirFiles is a fascist film.”Speaking to an Israeli news website, Ynet, over the phone, Lapid said, “It`s crazy, what`s going on here. It`s a government festival and it`s the biggest in India. It`s a film that the Indian government, even if it didn`t actually make it, at least pushed it in an unusual way. It basically justifies the Indian policy in Kashmir, and it has fascist features,” he said, according to a rough translation of the interview in Hebrew.
