He tweeted and wrote, ‘Kashmir Files’ earnings have reached 150 crores. This is amazing, people have respected the sentiments of Kashmiri brahmins a lot. I would respect the filmmaker to give all that money to the education of Brahmin children and the construction of houses for them in Kashmir and that would be a great charity.

Sir Niyaz Khaan Sahab, Bhopal aa raha hoon 25th ko. Please give an appointment so we can meet and exchange ideas how we can help and how you can help with the royalty of your books and your power as an IAS officer. https://t.co/9P3oif8nfL

At the same time, the film director replied to the tweet to the IAS officer and wrote, Sir Niaz Khan sir, I am coming to Bhopal, please make an appointment so that we can meet and make a policy through ideas on how we can help them Huh. How can you help with your book’s royalty and your power as an IAS officer?

Let us tell you that on Sunday, Bollywood actor Aamir Khan also praised the film and said that this film is a part of the history of our country. Which is certainly a matter of great sadness with the Kashmiri Pandits in Kashmir, which broke the hearts of all of us. Every Indian should watch such a film and every Hindustani should remember what happened.
