Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal on Thursday slammed the latest blockbuster The Kashmir Files directed by Vivek Agnihotri. 

He went on to call out the BJP for demanding that the film be made tax free in the national capital. 

He said, “They are saying make The Kashmir Files tax free. Well, put it on YouTube it will be free.” 

The Delhi CM further added, “Why are you asking us to make it tax free. If you are so keen, ask Vivek Agnihotri to put it on YouTube, it will all be free. Everyone will be able to see it in a day. Where is the need to make it tax free?”
