The Kashmir Files Director Vivek Agnihotri To Build A 'Genocide Museum', Madhya Pradesh CM Gives Nod

Vivek Agnihotri's The Kashmir Files has been in the limelight ever since it hit the silver screens on March 11. The film is based on the sufferings of the Kashmiri Pandits in 1990s, when they were forced to evacuate the beautiful valley that was their home.

A large chunk of the film's plot is focused on how a 'genocide was carried out against Kashmiri Pandits and how the world doesn't know about it'.

"World's first Genocide museum will be built, where even if a terrorist goes, he will come out as a human. I demanded Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan for the same, after 10 minutes I got approval at the government level. With the logistic support, its construction will start soon in Bhopal," Agnihotri told PTI.
