Community Sevak & President KPC It is both surprising and deeply concerning to see how some senior KP leaders and activists is openly advocating through vedio clips and endorsing Mirwaiz Umar Farooq’s visit to Delhi as an honest attempt to interact with displaced Kashmiri Pandits. Has he given this matter

serious thought? Does he not realize the underlying intentions behind such a move? Is this yet another orchestrated attempt to drive Kashmiri Pandits back to the Valley like cattle,

without addressing the real concerns of security, justice, and dignity?How does these advocates among our KP community presume that Mirwaiz Umar Farooq came to Delhi specifically to meet Kashmiri Pandits? Was his visit for personal reasons, later converted into a so-called

“outreach” meeting with a handful of Pandits already known to him—individuals who have been in regular contact with him in Srinagar? If Mirwaiz was truly interested in engaging with the broader Kashmiri Pandit community, why did he not come to Jammu, the main hub of displaced Kashmiri Pandits, where thousands of

community thinkers, leaders, and victims reside? Why was this so-called meeting held in Delhi, and that too with just 5-6 individuals, most of whom have long-standing connections with Mirwaiz and other Kashmir-centric leaders?

If Mirwaiz’s intentions were truly noble, his approach should have been different. He should have consulted his party’s activists, leaders of the Awami Action Committee (AAC), and other influential figures before initiating any dialogue. Why was there no structured outreach? Why did he not seek the opinions of all ideological groups in Kashmir, including those who remain committed to separatism and pro-Pakistan sentiments?

His failure to do so exposes the hollow nature of this so-called dialogue. These advocates claims that Mirwaiz came to Delhi to express that the Muslim majority of Kashmir feels remorse over the suffering of Kashmiri Pandits. Who told him this? Has he surveyed all sections of Kashmiri society?

Has he spoken to those who still advocate for Kashmir’s separation from India or its merger with Pakistan? Without a broad consensus, such claims hold no value. If Mirwaiz truly wanted to engage in meaningful dialogue, why didn’t he issue an official invitation to the displaced Kashmiri Pandit community?

Instead, an informal message was passed through a close Kashmiri Pandit associate, calling for a few individuals to meet Mirwaiz. Is this how one engages in dialogue on the grave issue of ethnic cleansing, mass displacement, and genocide?

The unanswered questions: Mirwaiz’s Intentions Under Scrutiny.Does Mirwaiz Umar Farooq carry a guilty conscience over the forced exodus and ethnic cleansing of Kashmiri Pandits?Has he ever openly condemned the brutal killings of our

people?Why did he never stand against the likes of Syed Salahuddin, Yasin Malik, Bitta Karate, Mushtaq Lateram and others responsible for the bloodshed?Why has he never called for Kashmiri Pandits to be restored to their rightful homes,

businesses, and lands?Can he guarantee the safety and security of Kashmiri Pandits in the Valley? If he could not save his own father, Mirwaiz Farooq, or uncle from being assassinated, how can he ensure the protection of a vulnerable, scattered community?If Mirwaiz is truly remorseful, let him issue a public

statement calling upon Kashmiri Muslims to return the homes, lands, and businesses of displaced Kashmiri Pandits—properties taken under distress sales, forcible occupation, and through manipulations of revenue records.

Let him openly acknowledge that Kashmiri Pandits are the indigenous people of Kashmir and the first stakeholders in all matters of the region. Will he take this step?Kashmiri Pandits must not get carried away by deceptive gestures. Our community has suffered for decades due to the betrayals and opportunism of certain elements.

Mirwaiz and his ilk have long thrived on anti-India, pro-separatist politics, and now, sensing a shift in the Valley’s dynamics—due to the strong policies of the Modi government and Pakistan’s declining financial support—they are adopting a different tone.

But has anything fundamentally changed?Yes, the separatist lobby is demoralized, thousands of stone-pelters and disruptive elements are in jail, and the grip of radical forces has weakened. However, what will happen if there is no strong government at the Centre or in the Union Territory?

What if the tide turns and these forces regain their lost ground? Who will then guarantee our security? Mirwaiz Umar Farooq and his sympathizers? That is an illusion Kashmiri Pandits cannot afford to believe in.The Kashmiri Pandit community must remain vigilant. We cannot allow opportunists to exploit our suffering for their own benefit.

No individual or NGO can decide our fate for us. Our battle is not just about symbolic dialogues but about real justice, real accountability, and real guarantees.

I urge my fellow Kashmiri Pandits—do not fall for these staged dramas. Do not jump at every deceptive gesture made for hidden agendas. The only entity that can truly guarantee our safety, dignity, and rightful place in Kashmir is the Government of India.

That is where our faith should remain.Kashmiri Pandits must not allow themselves to be misled by those who played a role in their exodus or remained silent in the face of their suffering.

Instead of being swayed by symbolic meetings, let us demand real action, real accountability, and real restitution for the injustices we have endured.”Jai Hind, Jai Bharat,Jai Kashyap Bhoomi” [Kundan Kashmiri]Kashmir Watcher & President, Kashmiri Pandit Conference (KPC)Mobile: 8802167955Email: kundankashmiri@gmail.com
