JAMMU, Jan 18: To mark the 30 th Anniversary of Kashmiri Pandit exodus, the community members took to social networking to narrate their horrifying story and start a campaign #HumWapasAayenge on twitter.
#HumWapasAayenge is now trending on Twitter as scores of Kashmiri Pandits from across the globe shared their tale on social networking sites.

Aditya Raj Kaul another journalist tweeted, "It's been 30 years. My father Kaul Utpal narrates how our house in Kashmir was burned and library destroyed by terrorists. Yet Kashmir Pandits always say, next Shivratri we will celebrate in Kashmir. We have lost our house, not resolve to return to our homeland. #HumWapasAayenge
