Restore Their Dignity
1/20/2022 11:48:12 PM
Thirty two years have passed since Kashmiri Pandits were forced to leave the Valley and live in exile. Their hopes about returning to Kashmir seem to have diminished as nothing much has been done on the ground to bring them back.
Kashmiri Pandits every year observe January 19 as a Holocaust Day to mark it’s a day of their mass exodus from the Valley. The selective killings of the members of the Kashmiri Pandit Community and the slogans that were raised in 1990 asking them to leave Kashmir had terrified them. They left everything behind and fled away to save their lives.
The governments that have come into power during the past three decades have shown them big dreams but have not been able to resettle them in Kashmir.
On Wednesday, members of the Kashmiri Pandit community staged a protest near Jagti township they accused the BJP of using them for vote bank politics and expressed dismay over them being left in lurch by the successive regimes. They demanded punishment for the killers of Kashmiri Pandits and setting up separate colonies for them. They lamented that they are being punished because they are nationalist to the core. Protesters asked the government that it had set 2022 as the deadline for resettling them back in the Valley and what happened to it. After J&K’s reorganization on August 5, 2019, the Kashmiri Pandits were hopeful that the process to send them back to Kashmir would be expedited and they would be able to return to their respective homes. But more than 2-years have passed since the day J&K was reorganized, not much headway has been made to ensure their dignified return. Nor their demand for a separate homeland in Kashmir has been worked upon.
These poor people have been victims of Pakistan sponsored insurgency and they need to be rehabilitated. The helmsmen should understand that Kashmiri Pandits have been fed with slogans for the past three decades and they need a healing touch and some kind of respite and solace. They can’t be told forever that they will be sent back. Some concrete steps need to be taken to resettle them in Kashmir. Lip service only won’t help. They are the members of the displaced community and their respect and dignity needs to be restored.
