Hitting out at Kejriwal, Sarma took to Twitter and asked the Delhi CM to stop "constantly mocking" Kashmiri Pandits.
If you don't want to make #KashmirFiles tax-free,don't.But stop this constant mocking of Kashmiri Pandits.Their sufferings are a result of such condescending attitude & appeasement politics of secularists.

Arvind Kejriwal had suggested that the government should rather upload the movie on YouTube than make it tax-free. He said that everyone will have easy access to the film, if they want everyone to watch it.
"Some people are earning crores in the name of Kashmiri Pandits and you (BJP) have been sticking posters of the film. They (BJP) are demanding that the movie be declared tax-free in Delhi. Upload it on YouTube, the movie will become free and everyone will be able to watch it," he said.

In an interview with Firstpost, Vivek Agnihotri reacted to Kejriwal's jibe. He said, "Am I really supposed to react to something so absurd? Would he ask Steven Spielberg to upload Schindler¡¯s List on YouTube? Not that I am comparing my small film to Schindler¡¯s List. Just asking."
He then added, "Two crore people have seen The Kashmir Files already. They are responding with deep pure emotions. I would rather concentrate on those two-crore people than the 20 politicians who are professional abusers."
