Kind reminder to BJP spokesperson who is asking Displaced Kashmiri Pandit  voters in valley  to vote for Kashmir civilization — KPC

Jammu : We must remind BJP spokesperson  who is urging Kashmiri Pandit voters to support “Kashmir civilization” raises questions about which civilization he refer to, especially considering the loss of land and population suffered by Kashmiri Pandits over the years. Thousands of temples and shrines in the valley have either been destroyed or converted, and religious scriptures have been desecrated. The draconian land laws imposed on Kashmiri Pandits further exacerbated their plight, depriving them of their land without compensation.

Over a hundred places in Kashmir, once bearing Hindu names, have been forcibly changed to Muslim names. Where has the essence of Kashmiri civilization disappeared to? Kashmiri Pandits were denied government services, admission to engineering and technical colleges, stripping them of their rightful opportunities.

Where is the civilization that witnessed our land being snatched away under distress sales and forcible occupations? Where has the spirit of inclusivity gone, as chants of ‘Batav Bagar— Batnav Saan’ echoed through the valley, uniting local masses regardless of origin?

Where is the civilization when our homes were set ablaze, our properties looted with impunity? And yet, those in power for so long turn a blind eye, never initiating inquiries into the killings, loot, and arson against Kashmiri Pandits. Have they ever taken action against our perpetrators?

Kashmiri Pandits hail from a civilized and disciplined community, deserving respect instead of being repeatedly marginalized and ignored. It’s imperative to refrain from using them as mere pawns for political gain or vote bank strategies.

Let’s pause and reflect on the plight of the Kashmiri Pandit community, showing them compassion and leaving them to determine their fate.”
