JAMMU : Jammu and Kashmir BJP president Ravinder Raina on Tuesday demanded an apology from Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal for “rubbing salt into the wounds” of terror victims including Kashmiri Pandits.
The demand comes amid a war of words between the AAP national convenor and and BJP over ‘The Kashmir Files’ film which is based on the exodus of Kashmiri Pandits from the valley in the 1990s.
In a sharp attack on BJP for promoting the film, Kejriwal, while speaking in the Delhi assembly last Thursday, had accused the saffron party of doing politics over the issue.
He had also demanded that the film be uploaded on YouTube so that the country can understand the plight of Kashmiri Pandits and the money earned from it be spent on the welfare of the displaced community.
“It is unfortunate that an elected chief minister and his legislators mocked the victims of Pakistan-sponsored terrorism (in Jammu and Kashmir). Kejriwal and other AAP MLAs rubbed salt into the wounds of Kashmiri Pandits by laughing at their plight and committed a grave sin,” Raina told reporters at the party headquarters here.
