Kashmiri Pandit Sangharsh Samiti asks Kashmiri Pandits to leave valley

New Delhi: Following a targeted attack on Kashmiri Pandits on Tuesday in Shopian that left one Kashmiri Pandit dead and his brother injured, Kashmiri Pandit Sangharsh Samiti (KPSS) has asked all the community members to leave the valley.

A police official identified the deceased as Sunil Kumar and the injured as Pintu Kumar.

A letter signed by KPSS president Sanjay K Tickoo said, “With another deadly attack on Kashmiri Pandits in Kashmir valley, the terrorists have made it clear that they are going to kill all the Kashmiri Pandits.”

KPSS blamed locals for being hand in gloves with terrorists for the targeted killings.

“Irony is that local OGWs work with them to kill their neighbours. Kashmir is a place where tourists are safe as no attacks were executed during Amar Nath Yatra but local non-Muslims particularly Kashmiri Pandits are vulnerable.”

Attacking the government for failing to protect the minority community, KPSS said, “Judiciary and government have failed miserably to protect Kashmiri Pandits in Kashmir valley as such KPSS is appealing all the Kashmiri Pandits to leave Kashmir and don’t fall trap to sugar-coated statements from Kashmiri Society.”

“No Kashmiri Pandit is safe in Kashmir valley. For Kashmiri Pandits, only one option is left – leave Kashmir or get killed by religiously fanatic minds who have supprot from the local population,” KPCC added.
