The programme among others was attended by Kamal Bagati, organising secretary, Sunil Handoo, coordinator-Bangalore unit and NM Gadroo, treasurer.
Ashwani Kumar Chrungoo, president, Panun Kashmir, in his concluding address said that it was in the year 2000 that Panun Kashmir adopted a resolution on “Kashmiri Pandit Nirvasan Samvat” which later on found a great support at all levels.
Virender Raina, National spokesperson on the occasion said that a positive change is expected to take place regarding the destiny of the displaced Kashmiri Pandit Community. “It is due to our consistent efforts that the concept of Homeland has received such an importance in the current political parlance. There is a need to pursue the agenda of Homeland vigorously by the community as it is the only module that opens new vistas for the dignified life of the Pandit community”, he added.
On the occasion, a resolution was also passed urging the Government of India to appoint a Judicial Enquiry Commission to go into the reasons of the rise of terrorism and fundamentalism in the Valley which consequently forced ethnic cleansing and mass exodus on Kashmiri Pandit community in Kashmir in 1989-90.
