Director Vivek Agnihotri engaged in a verbal dispute with MP Shashi Tharoor on Twitter on May 10. The war of words started after the former union minister said that 바카라˜The Kashmir Files바카라™ had been banned in Singapore as it was 바카라˜provocative바카라™ and 바카라˜one-sided바카라™. 

Earlier in the day, Tharoor went on Twitter and shared a news article stating that the film supported by the ruling government is being banned in other countries. 

Replying to this, Agnihotri who is the director of the film, shared a list of other films that were banned in Singapore but gained popularity worldwide. He then said that Singapore has the 바카라˜most regressive censor in the world바카라™. He then urged Tharoor to stop with the fun-making of a serious issue like Kashmiri Pandit바카라™s genocide. 

Reorting yet again, Agnihotri pointed out via a question that Tharoor바카라™s late wife, Sunanda Pushkar was a Kashmiri Hindu and said that the MP should delete the tweet and apologise to her soul. Furthermore, actor Anupam Kher who starred in the movie, shared a twitter thread of Pushkar바카라™s tweets, asking Tharoor to be humane towards the issue. 

바카라˜The Kashmir Files바카라™ is based on the life of Kashmiri Pandits in 1990, taking base from the first generation videos of the victims of the massacre. It shows the suffering, struggle and trauma who were caught in the Kashmir genocide.
