Anurag Kashyab Slams Modi Government On Kashmir Article 370 Decision
Mumbai: Taking a dig on PM Modi Narendra, filmmaker Anurag Kashyap “scary” to see “One Man” thinking he “knows what is right for the benefit of 1,200,000,000 people”.
This comes a day after Narendra Modi after the BJP-led NDA government announced that Article 370 was being scrapped in the state of Jammu and Kashmir.
“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,” wrote the Gangs of Wasseypur director.

Kashyap wrote, “Article 370 ya 35A, iske baare mein main zyada nahi keh sakta. Iska implication, history, ya facts main abhi bhi samjha nahi hoon. Kabhi lagta hai jaana chahiye tha, kabhi lagta hai kyu gaya. Na main Kashmiri Musalman hoon, na main Kashmiri Pandit. Mera Kashmiri dost kehta hai Kashmir ki kahaani Rashomon ki tarah hai. (Article 370 or 35A, I cannot speak much on them. 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.)”

Anurag Kashyap went on to detail the reference to Rashomon in his following tweet.
“Kain pehlu hai Kashmir ke. Sabhi sahi aur sabhi galat. Bas itna jaanta hoon ki jis tareeke se yeh sab hua, sahi nahi tha. (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.),” wrote Anurag Kashyap.

Anurag Kashyap has been critical of the ruling government on several occasions, including signing a letter, along with several other noted film personalities of the country, about the rising cases of mob violence in India.
Closing the 48-hour lockout in the state, Union Home Minister Amit Shah announced in the Rajya Sabha the government’s decision to abolish Article 370 in Jammu and Kashmir and divided the state into two union territories.
The government’s decision was met with widespread appreciation and serious criticism. While many celebrated the end of Jammu and Kashmir as a separate part of the country, others slammed the entire process the way it was.
