Raina said that APMCC has drafted the forms in such a way that it would include the compete data about the number of voters, number of migrants, number of adults, children, women and most importunately the number of educated unemployed youth in the community.
He said that this was the follow-up action of APMCC demand of an Autonomous Development Council for Kashmiri Pandits in Exile which was raised by the organization on May 1, 2006 through its historical document “Path for Survival” a booklet released by the APMCC.

Raina also appreciated the fact that All India Kashmiri Samaj (AIKS) has come out in open in support of the demand which was evident from the speech of the AIKS president Pt Moti Kaul at a felicitation function yesterday.
He hoped that if all the KP organizations come out in support of the demand of Autonomous Development Council like AIKS the government would be forced to take action for which APMCC would go to any extent to pressurize the government in conceding their demand which was the only way to make a beginning for the final settlement of Kashmiri Pandits
