Home Minister Amit Shah on Monday announced Government’s decision to scrap Article 370 and Article 35 A which provided special status to Jammu and Kashmir. The government also proposed to bifurcate two Union Territories, Kashmir with legislative and Ladakh with no legislative. Now it looks the Bollywood filmmaker is not happy with the government’s decision on scrapping the special status to Jammu and Kashmir. The filmmaker later went on condemning government’s move on Twitter which was later criticized by others.
Anurag Kashyap dissatisfied with the government’s decision
Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap took a dig on Narendra Modi government for the scrapping of Article 370 of the constituency. Without taking anyone’s name, he has said that one man knew what was right for more than billion Indians and has access to the power to execute it.
Anurag in his Twitter account wrote, “You know what is scary, that One Man thinks that he knows exactly what’s the right thing to do for the benefit of 1,200,000,000 people and has the access to the power to execute it.”
You know what is scary , that One Man thinks that he knows exactly what’s the right thing to do for the benefit of 1,200,000,000 people and has the access to the power to execute it.

Soon after the tweet went viral, people on Twitter criticized the filmmaker for his meritless review.

You know what is scary
A normal film director wants people to believe in his point of view instead of government which was chosen in majority— Intrepid Saffron (@IntrepidSaffron) August 6, 2019

That one man was elected by millions of Indians to lead India. If you don't understand democracy, don't lecture on it.

That One Respected man is our Prime Minister having huge mandate to think for the country. Access to power is earned not gifted . Do not tax your brain …politics is not making violent & abusive films .

The man is question is a democratically elected PM with a thumping majority. He has promised Abrogation of #Article370 in his election manifesto. People liked his idea and voted for him. He represents the will of majority of the electorate.

Who's 'scared'? Certainly not Kashmiris like me, who finally got equal status yesterday after years of subjugation & 2nd Class treatment from our Muslim counterparts! Ur problem is half-knowledge, u know nothing about Jammu, Ladakh or KPs!

Compares the move with a Japanese film
Anurag Kashyap further wrote in Hindi that he cannot further speak on the issue as he is not a Kashmiri Muslim or Kashmiri Pandit. He wrote in a tweet in Hindi, Translated: “ I cannot speak much on Article 370 or 35A. Their implication, history or facts – I still haven’t understood them. At times it feels it should have been scrapped, at times it feels why was it scrapped. Neither am I a Kashmiri Muslim nor am I a Kashmiri Pandit. My Kashmiri friend tells me that the story of Kashmir is like Rashomon.”
Article 370 या 35A, के बारे में में ज़्यादा नहीं कह सकता । इसका implication, history, या facts मैं अभी भी समझा नहीं हूँ । कभी लगता है जाना चाहिए था , कभी लगता है क्यों गया ।ना मैं कश्मीरी मुसलमान हूँ ना कश्मीरी पंडित ।मेरा कश्मीरी दोस्त कहता है कश्मीर की कहानी Roshomon की तरह है
— Anurag Kashyap (@anuragkashyap72) August 5, 2019
Rashomon is a film by Akira Kurosawa with a story where a bride is raped and the samurai husband is being murdered.
He went on clarifying the statement on Rahomon in a Tweet where he wrote in Hindi, Translated: “ There are several aspects to Kashmir. All of them are correct, all of them are wrong. All I know is that the way all of this happened is not correct.”
कई पहलू है कश्मीर के । सभी सही हैं और सभी ग़लत । बस इतना जानता हूँ की जिस तरीक़े से यह सब हुआ , सही नहीं था ।
