Dr. T.K.Bhat General Secretary ASKPC said that all State Kashmiri Pandit Conference wants an answer from National Political parties, so called main stream political parties of J&K and Civil society of Kashmir the way Kashmiri Pandits living in exile has been asked to exercise their voting rights for the persons /candidates who have never been their well-wishers and not allowed us to return back to our homes and hearths with honour and dignity.
He said that every nationalist citizen of the country knows that Kashmiri Pandits sacrifices themselves for the national cause to keep national flag fluring high in the valley but alas same community which is living as refugees in their own country are being asked to use their voting rights just to fill the constitutional obligations.
