Vivek Agnihotri threatens to sue Oxford Union for cancelling his event
The maker of the film, ‘The Kashmir Files’, Vivek Agnihotri has accused the Oxford Union and the Oxford University of ‘Hinduphobia’. The filmmaker has also said, he will file a lawsuit against them.
Vivek Agnihotri has been invited to talk about the film and the exodus of Kashmiri Pandits on various platforms. He is currently in Europe on a Humanity Tour.
Today, the director took to Twitter and lashed out at the Oxford Union and Oxford University for allegedly cancelling his address a few hours before the schedule and rescheduling it to July 1 without confirming it with him.
He accused the Oxford Union of being ‘Hinduphobic’ and asked everyone to support him in his fight as he is planning to file a lawsuit against the union. He claimed that on July 1, none of the students will be on the ground to attend his address.
Agnihotri tweeted, “IMPORTANT: Yet another Hindu voice is curbed at HINDUPHOBIC Oxford Union. They have cancelled me. In reality, they cancelled Hindu Genocide & Hindu students who are a minority at Oxford Univ. The president elect is a Pakistani. Please share & support me in this most difficult fight.”

Agnihotri said in a video, “Yesterday, a very strange thing happened. When I reached Cambridge University, at the last minute, I was told that we cannot video record the event. Now, this is a 100% curbing of freedom of expression. This happened because a few Pakistani and Kashmiri Muslim students protested. These are genocide denials, they’re fascists. This is perhaps because I support a democratically elected Prime Minister Narendra Modi.”
Talking about the Oxford University event, the director said, “Just a few hours before, they said, ‘Sorry we made a mistake, there was a double-booking and we cannot host you today.’ And without even asking me, they changed the date to July 1, when no student would be there, and there is no point in doing an event. Are they cancelling me? They want to cancel the democratically elected Government of India, especially Narendra Modi. They want to label us as fascists and Islamophobic. As if killing thousands of Kashmiri Hindus was not Hinduphobic, but the film on the truth is Islamophobic. They are not cancelling me, they are cancelling the genocide and Hindus. Hindus are a minority in Oxford University, and this is the oppression of the minority.”
Filmmaker Vivek Agnihotri’s last film ‘The Kashmir Files’ was an unprecedented success and was one of the most talked-about films of recent times.
