Assam Governor watches film Article 370, appreciates the production team

Guwahati: Assam Governor Gulab Chand Kataria along with the First Lady of Assam Anita Kataria on Tuesday watched the film ‘Article 370’ in a cinema hall in Guwahati.

Expressing himself after watching the film, Governor Kataria said that the film is a master class. He said that the movie portrayed artistically the abrogation of Article 370, an article, which gave special status to Jammu and Kashmir through a democratic and constitutional process.

He said that the movie is also an ode to the people of Jammu and Kashmir, especially those belonging to Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes who have experienced significant benefits, ushering in a new era of peace and prosperity after the abolition of Article 370.

“I thoroughly enjoyed the film, immersing myself in the narrative which deals with the statecraft. The film beautifully depicts the discriminatory nature of the article in India which is a union of states and the decisive leadership required to find challenging solutions. The scenes, and sequences of the movie are the testament to cinematic brilliance and the deep resolve to take the nation out of this decade-old problem,” Governor Kataria said.

“It is a must-watch movie which has showcased the steadfast leadership shaping our nation’s fortune and the course of action. My special thanks to all involved in producing this master class which can tell our posterity the background of Article 370 and the reasons for its abrogation,” the Governor added.

Commissioner and Secretary to the Governor S.S. Meenakshi Sundaram and other officials of Raj Bhavan also accompanied the Governor.
