The ongoing crisis in Manipur is deeply distressing, especially due to the ethnic violence that erupted on May 3rd, causing panic across the Northeast region of India. Reports of harsh treatment of women, the burning of villages, and other tragic events continue to flood in. In the midst of this turmoil, a Twitter user asked filmmaker Vivek Agnihotri to make Manipur Files if he is man enough.
Vivek Agnihotri who is helmed for making one of the most power-packed films of all time, The Kashmir Files has received as much appreciation for this film as he has received backlash. Recently, he made a tweet talking about the killing of Kashmiri Pandits. He wrote as we quote,

“Indian judiciary stood and stands blind and mute to Kashmiri Hindu Genocide. It failed and still fails to ‘suo moto’ protect the #RightToLife of Kashmiri Hindus as promised in our constitution.”

A Twitterati challenged filmmaker Vivek Agnihotri to make Manipur Files
One of the folks who evidently did not appreciate the 2022 blockbuster The Kashmir Files took to this recent tweet of Vivek Agnihotri and challenged him to make a movie titled Manipur Files if he is man enough. He asked Vivek as we quote,
“Don’t waste time go and make a movie ‘Manipur Files’ if you are man enough.”
Several netizens took to the comment section condemning this Twitterati and saying “But why did you not make a similar request for the Kashmir situation?”. Many even supported his argument asking Vivek to actually make the movie if he has balls enough. The tweet went viral only when Vivek himself replied to the man.
Don’t waste time go and make a movie ‘Manipur Files’ if you are man enough.

A video has been surfacing on the internet that shows a drastic incident that took place in Manipur almost 2 months ago.

MANIPUR:
Moplah, Direct Action Day, Noakhali, Bangladesh, Punjab, Kashmir, Bengal, Kerala, Assam, Bastar and now Manipur…

As a Bharatiya, as a man, as a human being, I am…
