TIME RIPE

It is the right time when government can mull and accomplish the long pending demand of Kashmiri Pandits about their resettlement in Valley with adequate measures to ensure their safety and dignity besides providing all the necessary avenues of life at some place exclusively demarcated for their dwelling, giving a new ray of hope to the displaced community to once again connect with its roots and blossom. Three decades of KPs in exile have been the most traumatic ones as they have experienced the worst of times and indifference of lopsided dispensations which never bothered to bail out the community from the morass for which they were also equally responsible as helmsmen at the centre and the State at that point of time gave tacit support to the whole gamut that was taking place by way of forcing KPs to leave their homes and hearths in Valley and become refugees in their own country. After the Narendra Modi Government took over the reign, the hope was kindled among KPs that now they can go back to their homeland fearlessly and after the abrogation of Article 370, KPs in their hearts become optimistic for that which seems to be impossible under previous regimes. In this context, a delegation of prominent Kashmiri Pandits met LG Manoj Sinha on Friday and demanded one place settlement in Valley. Although, the LG has assured the delegation that he will look into the matter but since the issue is critical therefore the PM and the HM should also intervene and resolve this issue once and for all ensuring safe return of KP brethren to Valley.
