Along with the pics he wrote, “Today, 19th Jan 2022 completes 32 years of #KashmiriPanditGenocide!! Thousands of innocent people were killed, brutalized and women raped. World has turned a blind eye to one of the biggest human tragedies and still not acknowledged the atrocities this community had to go through!”

“No kashmiri pandit picked up a gun. We used education and knowledge and have tried to move on. But ultimately TRUTH will prevail. I genuinely believe upar wala sab dekhta hai! My nalmot (hug in Kashmiri) to all the families of the victims of this genocide and also to my fellow brothers, sisters, older people and small kids who had to flee their homes in Kashmir on the night of Jan 19th, 1990. ??”, he added.
