Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap said apart from criticising the people involved in this incident, I also condemn the situation that has been created in our country off late. “Do not search for Hindu-Muslim angles in this. Read the report. Nearly 100 people have been arrested. I will condemn those who were in that crowd, but more than that I will condemn the atmosphere which has been created in this country, and this is a direct result of it,” Kashyap wrote.

इसने भी हिंदू-मुसलमान ऐंगल ना ढूँढे । रिपोर्ट पढ़ें ।लगभग १०० लोगों को गिरफ़्तार किया जा चुका है । उनकी निंदा तो करेंगे ही जो उस भीड़ में थे लेकिन उससे ज़्यादा निंदा उस माहौल की करूँगा जो इस देश में बनाया जा चुका है , जिसका यह सीधा नतीजा है । https://t.co/zzOs6AMD3L
