Srinagar: Kashmiri Pandits, who got employment under the Prime Minister’s relief package, have warned that they will migrate collectively if the government does not send them to a safe place within 24 hours. He took to the streets to protest at various places after the killing of a female teacher by terrorists in the Kulgam district and gave this warning. “We have decided that if the government does not take any concrete steps for our (security) within 24 hours, then again there will be mass migration,” a protester said here.
He said that the process of targeting and killing Kashmiri Pandits is on and the community is tired of appealing to the government. “We should be shifted so that we can be saved,” he said. Our delegation had met the Lt Governor earlier and we had asked him to save us. We are demanding temporary rehabilitation for two to three years till the situation in the Valley returns to normal. The IGP of Kashmir has set this deadline to make the valley terrorism free.
