JAMMU, Jan 19: Chief Minister Omar Abdullah said today that his Government would redouble efforts to create conditions to restore sense of security in which the Kashmiri Pandits can consider returning to their homes in the Kashmir Valley.
In a tweet on completion of 25th year of the migration of Kashmiri Pandits, Omar said: “today see the start of 25th year that Kashmiri Pandits had to flee their homes in the Kashmir Valley. Words will never be enough nor should they be. Time to redouble efforts to create conditions where their (the Kashmiri Pandits) sense of security is restored and Pandits can consider returning (to their homes in the Kashmir Valley)”.
It was on this day in 1989 that the Kashmiri Pandits had started leaving their homes in the Kashmir Valley and migrated to Jammu after the killings of some prominent leaders of the community and targeting of their property by the militants.
The Kashmiri Pandit organisations observe January 19 as Holocaust Day.
