A Kashmiri Muslim stressed the need to collectively apologise over the killings and the subsequent exodus of Pandits from the Valley. He was lauded by The Kashmir Files filmmaker Vivek Agnihotri.
Sharing a video clip of a local news channel, ‘The Kashmir Files’ director said, “This young Kashmiri Muslim is saying “sorry for the Genocide to all Kashmiri Hindus” on a Pakistani channel. Acknowledging the Genocide and saying sorry is the first step to #RightToJustice. If someone knows this young man, Pl send my love and thanks to him.”
Later Vivek clarified about the news channel in another tweet saying, “I am told this is Kashmiri channel. Can someone confirm please? If true, I am sorry for misunderstanding.”
The plight of Kashmiri Pandits came under the spotlight after ‘The Kashmiri Files’, the film based on the exodus of Kashmiri Pandits, was released earlier this month. They had to leave the Valley amid a slew of killings in the early 90s.
