| J-K Govt's apathy will force Pandits to migrate: HWSK | | | Early Times Report
Jammu: A valley-based organisation of Pandits on Thursday said members of the community would be forced to migrate from Kashmir if the state government failed to take measures to address to their problems, including unemployment.
"If government does not pay attention to our problems, we will be left with no option except to migrate to other parts of the country from Kashmir, where we have been staying even after several thousand families of the community migrated in 1989-1990," Hindu Welfare Society Kashmir president Autar Krishen Rajpuri told reporters here.
After migration in 1989-90, there were about 10,000 Pandit families left in the valley and in last 19 years as many as nine thousand families have also left the valley due to problems, he said.
He said there were only one thousand families of the community living in different areas of Kashmir.
Rajpuri attributed the migration of the community to three major massacres at Wundhama in 1997, Sangrampura in 1998 and Nadimarg in 2001, adding the failure of the Centre and state to attend to economic problems of the community also contributed to this.
