"Hum Kashmiri Panditon pe thodi hasse, hum BJP pe hass rahe the ki 8 saal sarkar chalane ke baad bhi BJP agar kissi picture ke poster laga ke ghoom rahi hai aur picture ka promotion kar rahi hai, it's very insensitive. Ispe raajneeti karna band kar diya jaaye."

"Ek sensitive sarkaar ki ye zimedaari honi chaiye thi ki jo log uss anyaay se peedit hai, un logo ko nyay dilwaaya jata. Jitne log kashmir chodne ke liye baage hue hai unke punarvaas ki vyavasta ki jaati, unko waha pe zameeno ka intezaam karke uske upar policy banaayi jaati aur uss policy ke tahat unko waapas punarvaas kia jata. Wo nahi kia gaya. 8 saal centre mei sarkaar chalane ke baad, wo ek film ka promotion kar rahe hai BJP waale".
"Aap puch lo Kashmiri Panditon se... unko picture chaiye ki rehabilitation chaiye," he asked.
