Security personnel and civilians are dying in Kashmir and this is the truth and it is not a film, he said.
“In Kashmir, 15 security personnel have been martyred and 18 civilians have been killed in the last five months. Yesterday a teacher was murdered,” he said in a tweet in Hindi.
“Kashmiri Pandits are sitting on a dharna for the last 18 days but the BJP is busy celebrating eight years. Prime Minister Ji, this is not a film but it is the truth of Kashmir today,” Gandhi also said.
