JAMMU, Apr 20: Accusing the Centre and State Governments of their total failure in addressing the problems of exiled Pandits from Valley, KPC chief Kundan Kashmiri urged the Government to take tough stand against the terrorists responsible for human rights violation of peace loving people including minorities in the State.
Mr Kashmiri in a letter to Chief Minister, Mehbooba Mufti said that J&K is the only Muslim majority State in the country and maintaining the secular character of the State is the onus of the Government. He said Pandits are the aborigines of Valley and their mass exodus from their homeland is the failure of Indian Government.
Kashmiri expressed the hope that the new Government in the State will work for strengthening the secular values as well as restoring their homeland to Pandits by taking effective measures for their one place settlement within Valley.
KPC Chief further in his letter to Chief Minister said that even leading International Human Rights Organisations like Amnesty International, Asia Watch and others have yet to take proper cognizance of the genocide perpetrated on Kashmiri Pandits. Their representatives have so far failed to assess the correct situation created by Pakistan and local separatists and other fundamentalist groups in the valley, who forced KPs to leave their homes and hearths and lead the refugees life outside the Valley.
He, while reminding the CM of the pain and agony of the community stressed on taking effective steps in settling the issue once for all by taking the aspirations of the community into consideration.
