Hyderabad: With the ongoing political mayhem in Pakistan, the Imran Khan-led political party, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) has used a song from the film 'The Kashmir Files', directed by Vivek Agnihotri, in a video they shared on their social media page to target the Pakistan Army in their ongoing movement.

Vivek Agnihotri's film was about Pakistan-funded Islamist terrorism and the exodus of the Kashmiri Pandits from the valley. Vivek Agnihotri tried to mock the PTI by sharing a tweet on his official handle which said "IRONY OF PAKISTAN: See the power of Indic cinema. The official account of @ImranKhanPTI is using the official song of #TheKashmirFiles illegally in his official video on Instagram."

He further added "For the ill informed, this is written by Faiz Ahmad Faiz. We bought the rights from Faiz House. There are many versions. This is our legal copyright version."

Enraged supporters of the PTI stormed the General Headquarters of the Army, over the Arrest of PTI chief Imran Khan in a corruption case on Tuesday. The supporters attacked the military vehicles and installations while setting the residence of the Lahore Corps Commander on fire.

Imran Khan was arrested by the Paramilitary forces, who barged into a room of the Islamabad High Court on Tuesday, on the orders of the National Accountability Bureau (NAB) officials. The former prime minister was sent on an eight-day physical remand to the anti-corruption watchdog by an anti-corruption court on Wednesday. Meanwhile, director Vivek Ranjan Agnihotri recently made the headlines by sending a legal notice to the West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee for defaming his movie "The Kashmir Files".
