JAMMU, Apr 6: Panun Kashmir (PK) has asked the Government to recognise demographic destruction of Hindus in Kashmir as well as Jammu as the prime objective of Islamist separatism.
“Genocidal violence against Hindus, systematic Muslim demographic expansion and Hindu expulsion through various means are going on while GoI is indulging in distorting and normalising this grim reality’’, PK chairman, Dr Ajay Chrungoo told reporters here, today.
He said Government needs to evolve policies to fight and defeat the campaign of Hindu genocide in J&K.
He urged Government to stop circumventing the real challenges in J&K and realise that political jargon weaved around developing separatist dominated areas had failed in the past and have no chance to succeed now.

Chrungoo urged Government to start dialogue immediately on the issues of future reorganising J&K and stressed on further political division of Kashmir into two UTs one being PK for rehabilitation of Hindus of Kashmir and creation of a separate Jammu State is a strategic imperative if Jihadi war has to be permanently defeated.
Expressing serious concern over Government’s negative attitude towards the Kashmiri Pandits he said the spectre of abject destitution and deprivation of the family of Sanjay Sharma, the  Kashmiri Hindu security guard, killed by terrorists in Valley recently brings out clearly the policy of ‘use, abandon and dump’ pursued by GoI and UT Government for the KPS. The hapless family is not even sure of its next day meal and shelter is shocking, he added.
He said how comical and appalling it is that while the destructive process of Hindus in J&K is on with impunity, the GoI makes gestures of bravado of opening of pilgrimage route to Sharda shrine, he added.
Which Hindu will not welcome visiting the destroyed temple of Sharda in PoJK? However does GoI recognise that Sharda temple like the famous temple of Martand and so many other Hindu temples were subjected to genocidal destruction.
He said the insensitivity to Hindu killings in J&K is demonstrated by the continuous unwillingness of those at the helms in GoI to even meet and visit the Hindu victims of terrorism in Kashmir and in Jammu.
He also criticised the Union Home Minister of not meeting the militancy victims of Dangri massacre and cancelling his visit on the grounds of weather.
Meanwhile, Dr Chrungoo demanded job to next kin of Sanjay Sharma and registration of family as migrant with allotment of quarter at Jammu.
