He said the idea was, to tell the truth to the youth of India who had no idea about the genocide and the exodus of Hindu Kashmiris from the valley. The purpose, he said, was that no one should turn a blind eye to crimes against humanity.

A court in Jammu and Kashmir also banned the producers of the film ‘The Kashmir Files’ from portraying the late IAF Squadron Leader Ravi Kanna in the film.
The order was issued when Nirmal Khanna, the wife of the late Indian Air Force officer, said the film did not present facts but rather demanded and failed to respect the sanctity of her deceased husband. For the uninitiated, martyr Ravi Khanna was one of four IAF members believed to have been killed by a group led by Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF) leader Yasin Malik in Srinagar on January 25, 1990.
