K N Pandita
Thirty-six years after our forced exile from our birthplace of Kashmir, PDP Chairperson, Mehbooba Mufti, during her recent meeting with the LG, suggested honourable, secure and sustainable return and rehabilitation of nearly 60 thousand Kashmiri Pandit families scattered all over the country after their exodus in 1990. In her formal letter to the LG, she has appended an outline of a comprehensive rehabilitation plan for the Pandit minority in Kashmir Valley.
To many alienated Kashmiri Pandits, Mehbooba's message is a surprise because of her sustained, open and outright support to armed insurgents in Kashmir. Kashmiri Pandits carry the impressions of the 1986 as... |
