Virender Raina, in his address said that a Special Crimes Tribunal needs to be established to enquire into the excesses, genocide and ethnic cleansing committed against the Hindu minorities of Kashmir in view of the pronouncement made by the National Human Rights Commission in 1999 in this regard.
“A Bill envisaging preservation, protection, promotion and management of Hindu temples and shrines in Kashmir be adopted by the UT legislature of Jammu and Kashmir in the immediate future. The recruitment of the youth of the displaced community, in order to fill up all 6,000 reserved posts in the Government, may be done without any further delay and in this connection, the administrative measures may be taken on priority”, he stated.
