I thank him for revisiting history to show the people about the incident. The movie will also make the new generation aware of the history of Kashmiri Pandits. I thank Vivek Agnihotri for this,” Gadkari said. Talking about the controversy over the films, Agnihotri said , “The Kashmir Files is not spreading communalism but it has shown the reality and true face of terrorism against humanity in the valley”.
“This Film is not against any one or any community, even we have not used the word Pakistan in the entire film” he said. He said that the movie was based entirely on facts and certain people were trying to politicise it for their own benefits.
