#Thread 🚨  on  #KashmirFiles

Detailed fact check of PM Modi's FoE claim versus his track record, his ignorance/dishonesty about the huge body of work on KPs & BJP's poor track record to give justice to Pandits.

Let's begin with @IamOnir's film.

Fact- Vivek Agnihotri is on censor board. Under his watch, Ashvin’s film on Kashmir was “mutilated” with major cuts by censor in 2019. So when PM says all are free to make films on Kashmir, he forgot to add that they'll first have to satisfy Vivek!

PM said #KashmirFiles has 'brought out' what was 'HIDDEN for years'. That's FALSE.

In my research, I found over a dozen films on KPs, a majority by Kashmiri Pandits themselves! Most, very DETAILED.

Did PM ignore them coz it didn’t suit his motive?

FULL-

I spoke with directors who've made films on Kashmiri Pandits. They did NOT get any endorsement from BJP's top brass or CMs or Modi. No BJP state govt gave tax relief. It's clear that BJP cares more for the narrative #KashmirFiles helps set verus KPs!

#THREAD 🚨

This & the next video bring to you the REALITY of BJP’s claim to have done more than any other party to ensure #KashmirPandits return to their homeland.

In last 32 years, BJP has been part of a government at the centre for ~15 years.

#Thread 🚨 Tweet 6 of 8.

A week long examination of BJP & PM Modi's own track record shows their dishonesty in ensuring that Kashmiri Pandits get the very least they deserve- return to their homeland.

Claims versus reality. Rhetoric versus facts.
