In a memorandum to Prime Minister, Narendra Modi through Haryana Chief Minister, Manohar Lal Khattar, the KPs under the banner of ‘Foundation for Displaced Kashmiri Pandits’ made fervent appeal to the Prime Minister for bringing to book all killers of innocent Kashmiri Pandits, some of them are still roaming free.
The Pandits recalled Prime Minister that not a single terrorist involved in massacring their community members were prosecuted even after lapse of almost three decades. The Foundation, in its memorandum to Prime Minister Modi requested him that the forces behind their exodus be exposed and case related to mass KP killings reopened.
The displaced Pandits also appealed the Prime Minister to do what ever possible for making atmosphere conducive for their dignified return to their homes and hearth in Kashmir.
The memorandum on behalf of Foundation for Displaced Kashmiri Pandits (FDKPs) was presented by well known Kashmiri Pandit leader MK Bhan, Arvind Mattoo where as other KP activists like BL Raina, Ashish Zutshi were among others who were part of the delegation.
” We are obliged to Haryana Minister Vipul Goel for providing us the chance to be part of the rally in Faridabad. It was in this public meeting, we were provided an opportunity to highlight our plight and we raised issue of genocide of our community in Kashmir while presenting memorandum to Haryana, Chief Minister Manohar Lal Khattar for Prime Minister Modi,” said MK Bhan, who led the delegation.
” We are hopeful that Prime Minister who is in know of happenings in Kashmir institute time bound Commission of Enquiry to investigate reasons behind exodus of Kashmiri Pandit community and prosecute all killers of our community members without wasting any further time,” Bhan added.
“Kashmiri Pandit community was thrown out of their homes and hearths after scores of our community people which included woman and kids were massacred. Irony is none has been prosecuted and we want conspiracy behind this entire process of ethnic cleansing of our community be investigated,” said another KP activist BL Raina.
