As the indigenous people of Kashmir, the Kashmiri Pandits support the cause of the refugees, he said, adding that one set of dominant political class of the Valley has no exclusive right to determine the status of the people who have been living in the State for the last several decades.

The threat of creating unrest in the garb of refugees is tantamount to blackmail which has been the usual trait of Kashmir centric socio-political groups.
