Jammu, Jan 17: Panun Kashmir organised an important meeting in Jammu in connection with the 37th “Kashmiri Pandit Holocaust Day”.

The meeting was chaired by Kamal Bagati, General Secretary (Organisation) and was attended besides others by HL Jalali, JL Kaul, PK Bhan, KK Kaul, Ashok Chrungoo, VKMattoo, Sameer Bhat and Vikram Singh. The senior BJP & KP leader Ashwani Kumar Chrungoo,  attended the session as a special guest speaker, as per a press release.

“The meeting discussed the current socio-political scenario of the displaced Kashmiri Pandit community and reiterated the resolve of the community to keep the torch of the struggle for existence burning till the goal was achieved,” said Kamal Bagati, General Secretary, Panun Kashmir in a press release, adding that the Kashmiri Pandit community was committed to the resolve that “it won’t forget or forgive what was done to it. It said the original question of the resettlement of the Kashmiri Pandit community in the valley remains. “There is no doubt that the government of India implemented a large part of the operative part of the historic Margdarshan resolution on August 5,2019. It was a revolutionary step in the context of Jammu and Kashmir that brought a great positive constitutional, administrative and political changes in J&K sans the resettlement of the exiled Hindu community of Kashmir,” Bagati further added.  Many important people in the political circles at the national level believe that these changes will be followed by the changes at the levels of social, cultural and demographic balance in the valley as well, he said.

They are of the opinion that such changes can pave the way for the resettlement of the displaced Kashmiri Pandit community back in the valley, said the Panun Kashmir GS.

Panun Kashmir has further welcomed these administrative efforts of the government and also appealed to the Government of India to seriously think about opening a formal dialogue with the Kashmiri Pandit community.
