Indian political Filmmaker Vivek Agnihotri Monday took to Twitter seeking support after he was allegedly ‘canceled’ by Oxford University.
Agnihotri, best known for his recently released film ‘The Kashmir Files’ in a video claimed that he was invited by Oxford University in the UK to make an address on May 31. However, a few hours before the event, he was told there was a mistake and they would not be able to host him, he said.
“The event was confirmed on email but a few hours back, they said they had made a mistake, there was a double booking and they would not be able to host me today. Without even asking me, they changed the date to July 1 because on that day no student would be there and there’s no point doing an event,” he said.
“They call me Islamophobic. As if killing thousands of Kashmiri Hindus was not Hindu phobic but making a film on the truth is Islamophobic Hindus are in minority at Oxford University. This is oppression of the minority,” Vivek Agnihotri said.
In his video, Vivek Agnihotri also narrated an anecdote at Cambridge University. He said he was told his address there could not be recorded at the last minute. “This is curbing of freedom of expression. This happened because a few Pakistani and Kashmiri Muslim students protested. On social media, they write that it’s because I support PM Modi,” he said.
