Dr Surinder Kaul, co-founder GKDP sated “The entire world was shocked to see AAP legislators laughing and making a mockery of the story of KP genocide. A simple request by the public to make the movie tax free was hooted by the CM who has a past track record of granting such requests. Such discriminatory and hostile behaviour on an extremely serious subject is totally unfortunate”.
Rajesh Koul co-founder GKPD and Utpal Koul , international coordinator of the organisation have also strongly condemned the statement.
J&K BJP spokesman, YV Sharma also took strong exception to politicians from the Kashmir based People’s Alliance for Gupkar Declaration group led by Dr Farooq Abdullah and also those of die hard Leftist orientation across the country who don’t want to face the truth of ethnic cleansing of Kashmiri Hindus in 1989-1990 and the situation caused by the acts of omission and commission by the ruling NC-INC Government from 1987 to January 1990.
Y V Sharma also took strong exception to the theatrics of Arvind Kejriwal. He said that it does not behoove of a serving Chief Minister to comment on human tragedy about which he knows nothing.

Kashmiri and Pandita castigated Kejriwal for mocking the whole community that faced the genocide and atrocities through the hands of hands of Jehadis instigated by separatists and politicians with double standards.
Rakesh Handoo, spokesperson Jammu Kashmir National United Front (JKNUF) has said the entire community of Kashmiri Pandits has been shocked over the statement of Kejriwal who instead of showing sympathy with the exiled community which has been victim of genocide tried to give clean chit to the perpetrators of genocide.
