Vivek Agnihotri reacts as Twitter user dares him to make 'The Manipur Files’

Shortly after filmmaker Vivek Agnihotri recently released the trailer for the web series ‘The Kashmir Files Unreported’, a Twitter user asked him to make ‘The Manipur Files’ if he is man enough.

Referring to the subject of ‘The Kashmir Files Unreported’, Vivek tweeted, ‘Indian judiciary stood and stands blind and mute to Kashmiri Hindu Genocide. It failed and still fails to ‘suo moto’ protect the #RightToLife of Kashmiri Hindus as promised in our constitution.’

Replying to the post, a user commented, ‘Don't waste time go and make a movie Manipur Files if you are man enough.’

Vivek replied, ‘Thanks for having so much faith in me. Par saari films mujhse hi banwaoge kya yaar? Tumhari ‘Team India’ mein koi ‘man enough’ filmmaker nahin hai kya (But, do you want me to make all the films. Isn't anyone else not man enough)?’

Ethnic violence is going on in Manipur over the last two months. It all began on May 3 in Churachandpur town of the state after Kuki groups called for protests against a proposal to grant scheduled tribe status to the Meitei community. The clashed have claimed over 150 lives and left over 50,000 injured.

Recently, a video from the state went viral which was captured during the violence. It showed two tribal women being paraded naked and molested by a group of men. The video sparked massive public outrage.
