Kashmiri Pandits hit out at Israeli filmmaker Nadav Lapid, want him deported immediately
The HinduKashmiri Pandits, whose parents were killed by terrorists in the Valley, lashed out at Israeli film director Nadav Lapid on November 29 for terming the Bollywood movie 'The Kashmir Files' a "propaganda movie" and "vulgar". Mr. Lapid, viewed as an anti-establishment filmmaker, had described 'The Kashmir Files' as a "propaganda movie" and "vulgar" at the closing ceremony of the 53rd International Film Festival of India on Monday. "The Kashmir Files unmasked the 30-year-old propaganda designed to hide the truth on the exodus of Kashmiri Pandits," Vikas Raina, son of principal Ashok Kumar Raina, who was killed by Hizbul Mujahideen, said. Sandeep Kaul, whose grandfather Radha Krishen and father Shiban were dragged out of their house and killed by terrorists in South Kashmir's Kulgam district, demanded an apology from Mr. Lapid for "mocking the tragedy" depicted in The Kashmir Files.
