PUNE, Jan 7: The Genocide of Kashmiri Pandits has remained a continuous process since 1990 and till date there has been no sign of any comprehensive and exclusive policy by the present political dispensation to ascertain the security, return and rehabilitation of this minority community to be restored back to their roots within Valley.
Rahul Kaul, national coordinator Youth 4 PK as part of three member Committee who visited Valley during a press conference here, today shared that there is no change in the social and political status for Kashmiri Pandits and since 1990 till 2023 and in spite of correction in Art 370, Government has no firm policy to ensure return and rehabilitation of Kashmiri Pandits and is in constant denial of the genocide of KP community.
He said the worst sufferers are the women and children living in the valley and now the PM package employees, whose salaries have been stopped by Government for last five months and those who are protesting from over 240 days because of them being vulnerable to targeted killings. These families are economically very vulnerable now and many have liquidated their investments and some women have had to sell the jewellery to feed their families.
Rohit Bhat, secretary Youth 4 Panun Kashmir said “To make the situation worse, the recent statement of Lieutenant Governor, Manoj Sinha questioning the religious cleansing of KPs and balancing the entire killings in the Valley under secular garb has incurred a sense of deep anguish, fear and trust deficit within community. The community solemnly stands in one voice against this irresponsible statement and warns Government of serious repercussions if similar fake narratives and expressions are created to appease the majority population of the Valley.
Sharing the list highlighted he said ” If the killings as mentioned by LG are not targeted to Hindus in Valley then why a community of five lakh members was forced into exodus from Valley for over three decades.
Sunil Raina , Pune coordinator Youth 4 PK warned that Youth 4PK would start nationwide protest exposing the false narrative of the Government and its continuous process to deny the 32 years of Kashmiri Pandit’s genocide.
Voicing their support Parag Gokhale of Hindu Jan Jagruti Samiti and Anand Dave of Akhil Bharat Brahmin Mahasangh said that as staunch Nationalist Hindu organizations , they stand firm with the three decades old demand of Panun Kashmir which calls for carving out a Centrally administered separate homeland for Kashmiri Hindus in Valley.
