NEW DELHI: The Centre is likely to issue a guideline soon declaring the Kashmiri Pandits as ‘internally displaced’ rather than migrants and has promised to ameliorate the suffering of the community.
The assurance came when a delegation of major Kashmiri Pandits organisations met Minister of State for PMO Jitendra Singh and Minister of State for Home Haribhai Parathibhai Chaudhary here today.
During the hour-long meeting, the Pandits apprised the two Union ministers about the problems being faced by the community in day-to-day affairs and sought Central Government’s assistance in resolving them.
Sources said the ministers assured the delegation that a guideline declaring Kashmiri Pandits as ‘internally displaced’ would be issued soon, after the team objected to the term “migrants”, and said the Government would do all needful to resolve their problems. (AGENCIES)
