Vivek Agnihotri's latest directorial, 'The Kashmir Files' which tells the story of Kashmiri Pandit exodus and genocide has been described "inaccurate and associated with conspiracy theories" by Wikipedia. The page wrote, "The Kashmir Files presents a fictional storyline centered around an exodus of Kashmiri Hindus in the disputed region of Kashmir. It depicts the early 1990s exodus to be a genocide, a notion that is widely considered inaccurate and associated with conspiracy theories."
Reacting to Wikipedia's claim, the director took to his Twitter and wrote, ""Dear Wikipedia, You forgot to add 'Islamophobia...propaganda...sanghi...bigot...etc'. You are failing your Secular credentials. Hurry, edit more."
