After a long time, politics has started in Jammu and Kashmir regarding open cinema halls and multiplexes. All India Majlis-e-Ittehadul Muslimeen (AIMIM) President and Lok Sabha MP Asaduddin Owaisi questioned this on Tuesday. He said that cinema halls are opening, but why the mosque remains closed on Friday. It is worth noting that LG Manoj Sinha has recently inaugurated some multiplexes in Jammu and Kashmir. It is said that she will start with the film Lal Singh Chaddha’s show.
Owaisi tweeted
On the other hand, AIMIM chief Asaduddin Owaisi does not like this move. He on Tuesday questioned why the Jamia Masjid in Srinagar was closed every Friday when Jammu and Kashmir’s Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha inaugurated multipurpose cinema halls in south Kashmir’s Shopian and Pulwama districts on Sunday. Owaisi tweeted that you have opened cinema halls in Shopian and Pulwama. But why is the Srinagar Jamia Masjid closed on every Friday? Order it to open at least during the afternoon matinee show.
Cinema halls opened in Kashmir after 32 years, terrorists closed in 1990
The valley was once buzzing with cinema halls
Let us tell you that cinema halls in Jammu and Kashmir have been closed for a long time. By the 80s, about a dozen cinema halls were running here. But their owners were constantly receiving threats from terrorists. Because of this, all of them were closed. Although efforts were made to open some theaters in the 90s, but due to terrorism, this effort was not successful. In September 1999, terrorists lobbed a grenade at the Regal Cinema located at Lal Chowk.
