Several Kashmiri Pandit organisations on Friday raised the alarm over the renewed threats against members of the minority community in Kashmir and the recent targeted killings of non-locals and Hindus by suspected militants.
Sanjay Tickoo, who heads the Kashmiri Pandit Sangarash Samiti (KPSS), said the government, in the past three years, has again failed in ensuring the security of minorities living in the Kashmir Valley. “It indicates that Kashmiri minorities will again have to leave Kashmir Valley due to failure of Kashmiri society as well as administration,” Mr. Tickoo said.
Mr. Tickoo, who represents the Pandit families that decided not to migrate in the 1990s, warned that situation in the Kashmir valley was returning to that of three decades earlier. Around 800 Pandit families had stayed on then as militancy broke out in the Valley.
