Govt not 'serious' over return of KPs to Valley: PK

Jammu, Sep 12 : Panun Kashmir, an amalgam of Kashmiri Pandit bodies, today said the Jammu and Kashmir Government does not seemed to be 'serious' in resolving the issue of Kashmiri Pandits returning the Valley.

‘’Government’s employment package offer to Kashmiri youths is merely eyewash and once again government has tried to play with the sentiments of the innocent pandits,’’ Dr Agnishekhar, chairman Panun Kashmir, told reporters at a press conference here this afternoon.

Dr Agnishekhar, however, said that twenty years of exodus of Kashmiri Pandits from the Valley have passed but still, the government has not cleared the dust over pandits return to their homeland.

‘’Government should come in black and white on the issue and fix a time frame for the return of pandit community to Kashmir,’’ the PK chairman added.

Meanwhile, he said Panun Kashmir is going to observe September 14 as Martyrs Day (Balidan Divas) to mark it 20th year of Kashmiri Pandits exile.

‘’Balidan Divas would be observed at Abhinav Theater in Jammu, Delhi, Pune, Hyderbad and Vadodra while a copy of memorandum would also be served to the Prime Minister’s office from different units,’’ he added.
