Pandit delegation meets Modi, seeks help to return Kashmir

Kashmiri Pandits have sought help of BJP Prime Ministerial Candidate, Narendra Modi’s help to return to Valley.


A delegation of Kashmiri Pandits on Sunday submitted a memorandum to Modi in this regard.


Kashmiri Pandits left the valley in early nineties just after the Gawkadal massacre.


A delegation of Kashmiri Pandits met the BJP’s prime ministerial candidate, dressed in their traditional attire and submitted a memorandum.


“Neither the Central nor the State government drew any clear policy for the return and restitution of Kashmiri displaced people, Prime Minister’s Kashmir package contains not a single word about the political dimensions of return of the displaced Hindus. The scattered return module in clusters is a separatist elite strategy therefore stands rejected,” the memorandum said.


Modi, after meeting the delegation, said in his twitter “injustice to Kashmiri Pandits is not only an attack on their rights but an attack on our national ideal of Sarva Pantha Sambhav.”


“No words will ever explain the extent of suffering Kashmiri Pandits experienced. Justice toward the community remains our firm commitment,” Modi tweeted.


Pertinently, thousands of people got displaced during nineties as the militancy and counter militancy activities were going on parallel lines in the state.
