Prioritize return of displaced Pandits: KPS to Govt

Excelsior Correspondent
JAMMU, May 17: The Kashmiri Pandit Sabha (KPS) Jammu held a meeting of it’s Executive Committee today under the chairmanship of it’s president, K. K. Khosa.
The agenda of the meeting was to take stock of the situation in view of the ongoing Operation Sindoor launched by the GoI against the terrorists and their infrastructure established in Pakistan under the now obvious patronage of the civilian Government of Pakistan and the Pakistani army. The members appreciated the coordinated onslaught by the three wings of the armed forces as well as the BSF on the terror outfits and their infrastructure deep inside the Pakistani territory to avenge the dastardly killing of innocent tourists on the April 22 in Pahalgam.
The Pahalgam killings reopened the wounds inflicted on the community at the time of our exodus in 1989-90 in which hundreds of Kashmiri Pandits were murdered by the terrorists.
The Sabha condoled the loss of lives of our civilians due to the Pakistani shelling and drone attacks launched by the rogue nation in retaliation. The members expressed their full support to the statement made by Raksha Mantri, Rajnath Singh in Bhuj yesterday that the GoI has put Pakistani establishment on probation to observe it’s conduct and behavior towards the dreaded terrorists and their sympathizers after the temporary and conditional ceasefire agreed to by India pursuant to the request made by the DGMO of Pakistan on the 10th of May. The members also expressed their appreciation over the statement made by Chief Minister, Omar Abdullah about the importance of the Tul Bul project and it’s importance for the economy of the UT of Jammu and Kashmir.
The members unanimously appealed the GoI and the UT Government to prioritize return and rehabilitation policy for the displaced Kashmiri Pandits in consultation with the community at the earliest as soon as the present India-Pakistan crisis terminates.
Those who attended the meeting includes Ashwani Koul, G. J. Kampsi, Subash Dhar, Bharat Bushan Gosai, V. K. Mukhi, V. K. Bakshi, Nimmi Braroo, Vinod Bhat, Satish Khoda and S. K. Koul
