Gandi baat hai ye: Kejriwal slams BJP, says there shouldn't be politics on Kashmiri Pandits
India Today
After being in power for eight years, BJP has made a film about the exodus of Kashmiri Pandits and people are making crores off of it, Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal said in an exclusive interview.
Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal on Monday slammed the central government over its support of The Kashmir Files.
Asked why he did not make the movie tax-free in Delhi, Arvind Kejriwal said, "For me, the film is not important. Maybe it is important for the BJP.
"Over thirty years have passed since the exodus of Kashmiri Pandits, these people were thrown out of their own homes. Many people died. After 32 years, if the ruling party tells them [Kashmiri Pandits] we have made a film for you, please watch it, can there be a bigger insult than this?"

He added, "After being in power for eight years, they have made a film about it and people are making crores off of it. Gandi Baat hai ye. This is nothing to be proud of."
