Let us understand it for what it is. The celebration of Pakistan’s cricket victory by Kashmiris was an eruption of 2+ years of pent up anger/resentment against GoI &the unilateralism of all its decisions on J&K, a mass protest, an expression of the alienation. #kashmir #cricket

If you conflate your dislike/disapproval of a party/ideology/filmmaker with what happened to KPs in the 1990s, you lose the right to be called a liberal. The tragedy was not a conspiracy & is certainly not propaganda. Denial of injustice is injustice too.
