Security personnel and civilians are dying in Kashmir and this is the truth and it is not a film, he said.

"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.
