While I congratulate Vishal Bhardwaj for National Awards but dedicating them to #KashmiriPandits genocide is such a fraudish thing to do.

The so called 'Hindu' centric Govt. gave Haider 5 National Awards which many felt was anti-Hindu & anti Indian Army. This is NOT Talibanism.

Earlier on Tuesday, Vishal Bhardwaj talking to the media, dedicated all the five awards the film baggged at the 62nd National Film Awards.
"Yes I dedicate my award to them and I feel very sad because they misunderstood my feelings. I have said it before that the tragedy of Kashmiri Pandits is very big," said Bhardwaj.
Haider is an adaptation of Shakerspeare's play Hamlet set in the backdrop of Kashmir insurgency
Bhardwaj added that he didn't want the tragedy of Kashmiri Pandits to be a mere footnote since the story of Haider was something else and that he may make a complete film to highlight the plight of Kashmiri Pandits.
Haider won Best Male Playback Singer for Sukhwinder Singh for the song Bismil; Best Dialogues and Music Direction for the film's director Vishal Bhardwaj; Best Choreography for Norway-based Sudesh Adhana; and Best Costume Designer for the effervescent Dolly Ahluwalia.
The director however expressed sadness on Shahid Kapoor missing out on the best actor award. "i am a bit disappointed for Shahid. His performance was really good in the film," he said.
