Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal said on Thursday that if people are so eager to watch 'The Kashmir Files', they should ask director Vivek Agnihotri to put the film on YouTube.
Furthermore, the Delhi chief minister also insinuated that ‘The Kashmir Files’ is a movie not grounded in reality and that is a “jhoothi” movie.
Due to these remarks, Arvind Kejriwal faces flak on Twitter. People shares memes on Twitter claiming that Kejriwal has been exposed as he made films like ‘Saand Ki Aankh’ tax-free in Delhi but not ‘The Kashmir Files’.

Kejriwal’s remarks came a day after BJP leaders demanded that the 'The Kashmir Files' be made tax-free in the national capital during the ongoing Budget session of Delhi Assembly.
Kejriwal said that if filmmaker Vivek Agnihotri wants everyone to watch the movie, he should release it on YouTube so that it is available to everyone.
Taking a jibe at BJP leaders demanding to make the film tax-free in Delhi, Kejriwal said that "he (Agnihotri) has earned crores in the name of Kashmiri Pandits and you are putting up posters on the walls".
The movie has been made tax-free in several states, including Bihar, Madhya Pradesh, Haryana, Uttar Pradesh, Gujarat, Tripura, Goa, and Uttarakhand.
