JAMMU, Jan 13: Kashmiri Pandit Conference (KPC) in its meeting at New Delhi today held under the chairmanship of its president Kundan Kashmiri while discussing various problems of Kashmiri Pandits said it is unfortunate that the community is entering in 29th year of its exile on January 19 this year and regretted that during the last 28 years the Government has failed to address the problems of the community and take a bold decision on its permanent rehabilitation in Kashmir valley.
He said though the community will observe the Holocaust Day on January 19 this year as usual as mass exodus of KPs took place on this day when they were warned to leave the Valley by the communal forces and gun wielding terrorists in Kashmir on the behest of Pakistan.
He appealed the community that on this year’s Holocaust Day a solemn pledge should be taken to accelerate the struggle for carving out a separate part in Kashmir valley with UT status and free flow of Indian Constitution for the honourable and dignified rehabilitation of the community.
Kashmiri also appealed KP community to wear black badges and switch off the lights of their respective residences and business establishment from 6 PM to 7 PM to draw the attention of political masters of the nation towards plight as well as condemn the atrocities and nefarious designs of anti-national elements.
