The meeting said that during last 27 years of exile the Pandits faced many hardships and both State as well as Central Governments have failed to redress them.

The meeting said that due to the wrong policies of Government an ancient civilization of the country is today facing identity crisis and situation at this stage is also in no way better than the days of initial migration.
The community feels alienated due to step motherly treatment of the Government and the only reason for this is that the community is not a vote bank.
The meeting said that being a peace loving community the government has taken us for granted and this will force us to come to streets now.
