High time Kashmiri Hindus got respect: Anupam Kher

Mumbai: Veteran actor Anupam Kher, a Kashmiri Pandit, says the community should get respect and wants a Smart City for them in Kashmir.

Many Kashmiri Pandits were displaced from the Kashmir Valley due to militancy 25 years ago and the actor has shared a strong opinion on it.

“High time Kashmiri Hindus got respect they have earned being patriotic, hard working & peace loving. We want Smart City 4 us in Kashmir,” Anupam tweeted Sunday.

“As Indian I've learnt tolerance. As Kashmiri Hindu I've understood d meaning of patience. But let it not be confused with me being WEAK,” he added.

The “Baby” actor was recently on "a holiday in 30 years" in Kashmir, which he described as "the most beautiful place on earth".
