Maintaining that Pandits are the original residents of Kashmir Mr Baig said the community members can and shall, prosper as individuals or families wherever they go, “But I fear that in a few decades, if you are not enabled to return to your motherland, your existence as a distinct and unique ethnic community will be imperiled which would be an irreparable loss’’, he added.
The PDP leader said that whereas an individual he has no role to play in the migration of Pandits and he himself has been a victim of tragic violence yet he felt that he should accept facts and tender his sincere regrets to the entire KP community for the pain and loss it suffered.
