Barkha Dutt Trivializes, Dismisses Kashmir Genocide, holds Kashmiri Pandits responsible.
In a popular 23-second clip, Barkha Dutt describes:"Today hapless victims, they were once the privileged elites of the valley. They may have been a minority, but at that time they had monopolized government jobs, plum postings, and other such social benefits. In fact, the sharp economic disparity between the Pandits and the poor Muslim majority was one of the earliest reasons for popular discontent in the state" Websites like Alt News unsuccessfully tried to save Barkha Dutt by saying she has been quoted out of context as she was trying to give the contrast between the lives of Pandits before and after exodus.
