JAMMU, Mar 22 - Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) senior leader & social activist Rajesh Bhat greeted the Kashmiri Pandit community on New Year's Day, Navreh and prayed for its prosperity and well being. Bhat told that Navreh for the Kashmiri Pandit community has been a harbinger of hope, happiness and spirituality and also marks the end of harsh winter and the onset of spring which brings with it joy and happiness.
The community would welcome the New Year with gaiety, devotion, joy and festivities. The night previous to Navreh, every Kashmiri Pandit household keeps a Thaal filled with rice, a piece of bread, cooked rice, some walnuts, a cup of yoghurt, a coin, an inkpot , a pen and a Nechi Patri.
This is the first thing to be seen in the morning of Navreh so that we would have prosperity, intellect and continued respect for our religion and culture and would follow festivals, rituals, and other important occasions as per the tradition.
He further added that it is imperative for community particularly the youth to preserve and promote the tradition of our fore-fathers to maintain our identity and also to fulfill our responsibility of maintaining its continuity.
Festivals like Navreh help us in reinforcing that commitment. While the dangers posed by the forced exodus and the dispersal are many and significant, Kashmiri Pandits would have to make sure that this chain doesn't break and we have a tradition and a social order that is strengthened, promoted and preserved.
That itself would maintain our identity as Kashmiri Hindus. Hailing PDP and its leadership, Rajesh Bhat cautioned the people about the opportunistic political parties, which not only exploited the community for their political and financial gains but turned the state into the present hell. He asked the people to strengthen PDP to see J&K back on rails.
