Kerala unit of Congress, in a now-deleted tweet, had claimed that more Muslims were killed in Jammu and Kashmir during 1990-2007 than Pandits.
New Delhi: Actor Anupam Kher attended the press conference of his recently released film `The Kashmir Files` in New Delhi on Monday, along with the film`s director Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri and actor-producer Pallavi Joshi.
The film has brought the spotlight on the killings and forced exodus of the Kashmiri Pandits from the valley in the late 1980s and afterwards.
Amid the buzz, the Kerala unit of Congress claimed in a tweet, now deleted, that more Muslims were killed in Jammu and Kashmir during 1990-2007 than Pandits.
Responding to this after the press conference, Kher told ANI, "The kind of love that the storm has created from this film, the kind of people who are going to watch this film, what Kerala Congress has said is not important. I think they are trying to find what are the opinions of the actors or director of the film. I don`t want to give them that pleasure."
He added, "There is a democracy in our country, everyone has constitutional rights, so let them speak. But slowly, it seems like no one is listening to them because they do not talk about anything in the nation`s interest. They do not talk about how to take the country forward. There is destruction in everything they say, there is no constructive thing. So, why should we talk about such people who have no love for the country and have no love for the people who have been living as refugees in their own country? I pity them. Unfortunately, they are in very pathetic condition."
