New Zealand now censors the previously permitted broadcast of ‘The Kashmir Files’ !

• Religious fanatical organisations had staged protests !
• Censoring the movie is an attack on the freedom of New Zealanders ! – Winston Peters, Former Deputy Prime Minister, New Zealand

Editorial comments

• New Zealand, which has been beating the drums of freedom of expression, humanity, and secularism, has revealed its true face to the world by making such a decision. The Indian Government should take up the issue and try to get the film aired again !
• Why the so-called secularists, communists, and Tukde Tukde Gang, who resort to preaching freedom of expression to Hindus after the latter protest against films that are mudslinging on Hindu Dharma, customs, etc., are silent now ? This is their anti-Hindu hypocrisy !

New Delhi – New Zealand’s Censor Board has banned the broadcast of The Kashmir Files, which was previously permitted. Some religious fanatical groups had opposed the film and demanded that the censor board not release it. The Censor Board then took this decision. Former New Zealand Deputy Prime Minister Winston Peters, however, has opposed the Censor Board’s decision. He said, ‘Terrorism in all its forms, no matter what its source, should be exposed and opposed. This attempt at selective censorship would amount to one further attack on the freedom of New Zealanders and people worldwide’.

Peters added in a Facebook post, ‘To censor this film is tantamount to censoring information or images from the March 15^th atrocities in New Zealand, or for that matter removing from public knowledge all images of the attack on 9/11’.
