JAMMU, Sept 9: Kashmiri Pandit Conference (KPC ) in a meeting at New Delhi today stated that the only viable solution for rehabilitation of Kashmiri Pandits in exile is creation of separate Kashyap Bhoomi in Kashmir valley so that the community can lead an honourable and dignified life as it has suffered over 700 years persecution through the forces who were inimical to peace and coexistence.
President KPC, Kundan Kashmiri stated that the main purpose of this resolution was to put an end to the atrocities committed by fundamentalist forces against the minorities in Kashmir.
Kashmiri alleged this has happened as both Central and State governments failed to protect this microscopic minority in Valley after the independence and the Union Government totally banked upon the Kashmir Centric politicians for the vote bank politics.
He further stated that the resolution of separate” Kashyap Bhoomi” was adopted by the exiled KP community in response to the criminal and genocidal behavior of the intolerant fundamentalists. This demand of separate “Kashyap Bhoomi” for the exiled Kashmiri Pandits is no more an insignificant issue which could quietly be swept under the rug for which Kashmiri Pandits in exile and their organisations like ,KPC and others are struggling from the last three decades to save KPs from the centuries old persecution by the radical forces and tyrants. KPC has categorically reaffirmed not to budge an inch from its demand of “separate Kashyap Bhoomi” passed in KP Assembly in 2001 under the chairmanship of our community father late Amar Nath Vaishnavi.
KPC appealed community to observe, the Martyrs’ Day on September 14, as “Black Day” as a mark of protest by wearing black badges.
