Kashmiri Pandits seek ban on Haider movie

Jammu: Taking exception to the alleged misrepresentation of the ancient Sun Temple in Kashmir in Vishal Bharadwaj’s movie “Haider”, a committee of displaced Kashmiri Pandits has sought a ban on the film.

“The song “Bismil” has portrayed the ancient Martand Temple (Sun Temple) of Kashmir as the den of devil. The portrayal of our religious symbol in bad light has hurt the religious sentiments of the Kashmir Pandit community, and also the sentiments of Hindus all over the world,” Vinod Pandit, chairman of the All Parties Migrants Co-ordination committee said.
