NEW DELHI, Oct 31: Kashmiri Pandits from various organizations today in the capital participated in a joint silent sit in protest to seek the intervention of UN Secretary General Ban Ki Moon, who is on a 2 day visit to India; to declare the 'Kashmiri Pandit community' as Internally Displaced Person's (IDPs) as per the definition of the United Nations. The protest was organized outside the UN High Commission for Refugee's (UNHCR) near Jor Bagh.
