While highlighting threat posed by terrorism to national unity. I will work for creating national
sensitivity on Pandit community's genocide and the need for bringing them out of the pitiable conditions in which they live in camps in Jammu and Delhi Above all I will make determined efforts to reverse the process of grabbing of immovable assets of the displaced community in Kashmir, including their shrines. The problem of unemployment among Kashmiri Pandit youths bothers me and my colleagues and my new year's resolution will be to fight for the interests of the community people,” said Dr Ajay Chrungoo, Chairman Panun Kashmir.
