JAMMU, Mar 31: Panun Kashmir (PK) held a virtual meeting to discuss key organizational restructuring and future strategies concerning the Kashmiri Pandit community.
The meeting, chaired by PK chairman, Dr. Ajay Chrungoo, was attended by members from across India and overseas, including activists and representatives of various regional units. The virtual assembly was curated by Tito Ganju, who emphasized the spiritual and philosophical aspects of the movement.
A major outcome of the meeting was the restructuring of PK’s units in Maharashtra, Telangana, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Delhi, Punjab, and Kolkata, along with strengthening its international presence. The decision to launch the PK Yuva Wing was also announced, aimed at increasing youth engagement and participation in the movement.
They discussed the historical challenges faced by the KP community and the need to assert their demands with greater determination. B.L. Kaul, organizing secretary PK, remarked that the continued displacement of the community is not just a humanitarian issue but a political failure that must be addressed. He stated that the exile of KPs was not just an act of forced migration but a calculated campaign to erase their presence from Kashmir.
Dr. Ajay Chrungoo emphasized that the struggle for a separate homeland is not just about territorial claims but about ensuring the survival of the KP identity. He reiterated that the forces responsible for their displacement continue to operate in different political and ideological forms, making it imperative for the community to remain vigilant and proactive.
Tito Ganju, underscored that the demand for PK is not just a political necessity but a civilizational duty. “There comes a time when people must stand not just for their land but for the essence of their existence,. Our struggle is not just about reclaiming lost territory, it is about reclaiming history, memory, and our right to exist with dignity. If we do not fight for it today, we risk becoming mere footnotes in the annals of time,” he said.
The meeting also outlined the roadmap for 2025, with plans to enhance grassroots mobilization through a structured framework, particularly in Jammu camps. A detailed calendar in this regard will be released soon.
Nitin Dhar, coordinator of the Mumbai Unit, stressed the importance of sustained participation from all members of the community.
