SRINAGAR: BJP general secretary Ram Madhav today said displaced Kashmiri Pandits are an integral part of the Kashmiri milieu and questioned separatists in the Valley for creating a controversy over their return.
“It is unfortunate that the separatist groups in the Valley are trying to create a controversy out of an issue on which there always existed a near unanimity of opinion in the Valley. Kashmiri Pandits are an integral part of the Kashmiri milieu.
“I have myself heard hardline Hurriyat leaders including (Syed Ali Shah) Geelani talking about Pandits as integral part of Kashmiriyat. So was the case with all the other Hurriyat factions,” Madhav told reporters here.
The BJP general secretary was here for a meeting with senior state leaders of the party. He also met Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti last evening.
Madhav said the State Government would hold consultations with all sections of Kashmiri society, including Pandit leaders, for the return of the displaced community.
He said the Government was committed to bringing back the Pandits with honour and security. (AGENCIES)
