“This Independence Day, I’m thinking about the people of Kashmir,” says Hasan in a short video message he tweeted that went viral on Twitter.

As India celebrates its independence, let's think about the people who don't seem to have any right now. #Kashmir pic.twitter.com/cGGoUcMbPw

In his show Patriotic Act, Minhaj spoke about the communication breakdown in the province and how how there was no autonomy in the disputed territory after India scrapped Article 370 and illegally annexed occupied Kashmir.

“I can’t help but think about the eight million people that live in Kashmir,” he said.

Minhaj got nothing but lots and lots of hate from Indians after his video viral on internet. Here is how people reacted,

Dear Duffer, have you ever heard of something called Kashmir Pandits and their plights?

Where did you find this section 370?
