"Yet another Hindu voice is curbed at HINDUPHOBIC Oxford Union. They have canceled me. In reality, they canceled Hindu Genocide and Hindu students who are a minority at Oxford Univ. The president-elect is a Pakistani. Please share and support me in this most difficult fight."
In addition to the tweet, he also shared his experience with Cambridge University. He added,
¡°Yesterday, a very strange thing happened. When I reached Cambridge University, at the last minute, I was told that we could not video record the event. Now, this is a 100% curbing of freedom of expression. This happened because a few Pakistani and Kashmiri Muslim students protested. These are genocide denials, and they¡¯re fascists. This is perhaps because I support a democratically elected Prime Minister, Narendra Modi."
Agnihotri made headlines this year for his movie ¡°The Kashmir Files,¡± which was released across the country on March 11. The movie depicts the exodus of Kashmiri Pandits from the Kashmir Valley in the 1990s.

Though the film, starring Anupam Kher, Pallavi Joshi, Mithun Chakraborty, and Darshan Kumar, some critics and authors called out for its problematic politics, performed well at the box office by minting over Rs 350 crore.
